An un-beelievable Bloom + Hive Hop! 🐝🌼

This is a shot of Tour Sites and Co-op Members gathered at the After Party following a busy morning of sharing their gardens, hives, and community spaces with visitors from across Central Arkansas.

Thank you to everyone who opened a gate, answered a question, shared a plant, or simply showed up to support local pollinators. 🦋🌱

The Bloom + Hive Hop is proof that when people invest in their neighborhoods, bee-utiful things happen. 🍯✨

See you next time! 🐝🌻

Show the Community Some Love! 💛🐝

This is where Calm+Confidence beegan 6 years ago, and we're excited to share some of our favorite Hillcrest spots during the Bloom + Hive Hop this Saturday from 9 AM to Noon!

🌿 Visit Barbara's garden to explore pollinator-friendly plants, lush garden spaces, and plenty of inspiration for your own backyard.

🍅 Stop by Neil's place to see a thriving garden packed with fruits and vegetables. This spring, he even caught a swarm in the swarm trap we helped install. Talk about a welcome committee!

🍯 Then buzz over to Lauren's to check out our brand-new self-serve honey stand and learn more about the neighborhood bees that help make it possible.

Every garden has a story. Every hive has a beekeeper. Come meet your neighbors, ask questions, gather ideas, and celebrate the spaces that help our community bloom.

See you Saturday! 🐝🌻

Pups, pollinators, and plants… Gunnar’s garden has it all 🐶🐝🌿

Built with a researcher’s mind and a love for observing what’s working (and why), this space is a playground for the bee-curious. Every bloom, every visit, every buzz has a story to tell.

It’s the kind of garden where you don’t just see life… you start to understand it.

And on June 6, you can step into spaces like this all across the city.

Wander through neighborhoods.
Meet the people behind the gardens and hives.
Explore what’s growing in different corners of Central Arkansas.
And learn what it really takes to keep bees and tend thriving spaces.

Monica’s garden is what happens when a lifetime of care keeps growing 🌿

After years in the classroom, she stepped into retirement and joined our Host-a-Hive program — turning her space into something that feeds both people and pollinators.

From sunflowers to loofas, her garden is full, generous, and always buzzing with life.

Some homes need a second hive… just to keep up 🍯🐝

With 5 kids and a love for all things growing, Katie added another hive to her yard — and now her space hums from front to back.

A pea-covered archway, thriving garden beds, and bees hard at work… and somehow, her bees are just as well-behaved as her kids. A pretty sweet example of what it looks like to keep a hive while tending to family life.

🌿 From downtown to West Little Rock, hidden gems like this are tucked into every neighborhood.
