My name is Joe Reis and I’ve been in the Army almost 16 years including a tour in Afghanistan. A few years ago one of my soldiers started talking about honeybees and how they benefit the environment. Doing my research I came across an article of veterans working with bees to help with PTSD and anxiety. I became hooked and bought three hives shortly afterwards. We started recruiting and mentoring local veterans and it started to become something bigger than I expected. Currently my wife and I have 14 hives that we are building and will begin bringing other veterans in who are wanting to help their environment and try to do some self-healing as well.
