Apiopolis is a 501(c)3 nonprofit urban bee sanctuary in Raleigh, North Carolina focused on conservation, collaboration, community and celebration. Our mission is to engage with the vibrant urban ecology of the city and its surrounding landscapes and to support our thriving local food system by promoting natural and sustainable beekeeping practices, planting large-scale, healthy pollinator habitats, supporting community awareness and involvement, creating green jobs, forming dynamic partnerships that span disciplines and boundaries, and celebrating the strength, creativity, and diversity they inspire. We believe we can make a difference, not only for honeybee health by addressing the factors causing their decline and selecting for resilience, but for the ecological health and well being of the city and all the organisms and people that call it home. We aspire to do so in the most inclusive, joyful and artful way way possible.
