For the Collective Good
Nature-Based and Purpose-Driven Mental Health and Wellness
Especially Focused on Queens
Where Collective Care Begins
While The Holistic Hive provides services that are inclusive and intersectional, we have a special focus on those fulfilling matriarchal roles, because they are essential to the family.
The glue that binds together and the honey that sweetens the lives of others.
We center our Queen Bees because without them, there is no hive.
There is no collective care.
Without them, there is no "us."
Building Healthy Hives
All Families Are Welcome Here
We make no claim on a definition of "family" because it is your definition of family that really matters.
This hive is yours.

Why Bees?
Inspired by Hive Life
. We take our name and philosophy for our collective from bees because we are inspired by their social structure, community, sustainability, and resilience.
We believe that creating systemic change is possible when it is done in warm, supportive, and nurturing environments.
We seek to build and strengthen communities of care by gathering together to inspire and support one another without resorting to imitation and competition.
Bees have held space in myths and legends in a
variety of cultures since time immemorial.
Celtic
Bees are associated with community and harmony, and it is said that bees should be treated like members of the family. The notion of "telling it to the bees" was reserved for sharing the most important parts of a person's life with the bees in the fields. In this cultural tradition.
Ancient Greece
In Ancient Greek society (2000-300 BC) bees and honey were a major and persistent symbol. Bees were often linked with knowledge, health, and power.
Africa
According to Raymond Huber, the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert told this creation story that included the bee: Bee was a kindly creature. One night, Mantis needed to cross a great, flooded river to reach his family and asked Bee for help. Bee offered to carry Mantis on her back. She flew over the raging waters but was beaten down by a strong wind. Bee was dangerously close to the waves when she saw a magnificent flower floating on the water. Bee dropped Mantis onto the flower, fell beside her, and died of exhaustion. When the sun rose, curled up on the flower was the first human being – Bee’s sacrifice.
Slavic
In Slavic folklore, it was believed that bees are capable of communicating with humans and the gods. They were admired for their wisdom and their ability to understand human speech. Bees were believed to whisper their secrets to those who listened and their buzzing seen as a form of language that could be understood by those with the right knowledge or intuition.
Native American
In Native American mythology, the bee is often referenced in cautionary tales that warn people not to disrespect nature. Bees are portrayed as mighty fierce warriors who are capable of defending themselves against larger enemies. So only a fool would underestimate their powerful nature.
