Welcoming Bees to Vrooman Ranch: A Buzzing Step Toward Regeneration

At Vrooman Ranch, our mission has always been more than ranching — it’s about regeneration, restoration, and creating a truly living, breathing ecosystem. As we deepen our commitment to regenerative practices, we’re excited to share a new chapter in our journey: we’ve added bees to the land.

This milestone was made possible through a partnership with the passionate and knowledgeable team at Highway 69 Beekeepers, whose dedication to sustainable beekeeping aligns beautifully with our values. Together, we’ve introduced hives that will not only produce honey but, more importantly, play a vital role in supporting the land itself.

Why Bees?

Bees are far more than honey-makers — they are keystone pollinators in any healthy ecosystem. Their presence helps:
 • Pollinate wildflowers, grasses, native trees, and food crops
 • Encourage biodiversity by supporting a wide range of plant and animal life
 • Improve soil health by aiding the growth of deep-rooted plants
 • Strengthen the overall resilience of our regenerative ranching model

Simply put: no bees, no ecosystem.

A Regenerative Relationship

Adding bees isn’t just a one-time event — it’s part of a long-term, regenerative relationship with nature. We’ve been working to ensure there are plenty of bee-friendly native plants, clean water sources, and chemical-free zones around the ranch, giving our new pollinators a safe and nourishing home.

The team at Highway 69 Beekeepers has been instrumental in this process, helping us select hive locations, monitor bee health, and integrate beekeeping in a way that supports both livestock and land. Their knowledge has been a gift to our learning process — and a reminder that regeneration is a collaborative effort.
