About Us
Save the Honeybee Foundation is organized to create a honeybee and medicinal plant sanctuary to provide toxin-free habitat for pollinators, and to develop a beekeeping philosophy and methodology that do not stress the hive. As part of our mission, we will teach this philosophy and these methods to students and apprentices, as well as work to increase honeybee and pollinator awareness in the overall public.
Caban is a honeybee mystic, herbalist, intentional gardener, teacher, musician and vibrational medicine therapist. David is a honeybee lover, writer, intentional gardener and musician.
David and Caban have a loving, devoted, playful relationship that creates the balanced foundation for their work together with bees, gardening and music. Together, their world devotional music is offered as an intentional healing prayer. They are the founders of Save the Honeybee Foundation.
Stephanie and Eran Rhodzell
Stephanie and Eran Rhodzell own and operate Laughing Linden Farm, current home of the Pollinator Sanctuary. Their vision includes creating a place of abundance and diversity, where food, medicine, and pollinator plants thrive. They also run Sacred Earth Initiative - an organization dedicated to creating social and environmental transformation and healing through the work we offer on our farm, as well as education, advocacy, and implementation of low-maintenance, high-yielding, nature-based edible and medicinal landscapes on both macro and micro levels. .
Stephanie is a mother of two incredible daughters, as well as owner and founder of Fox & Flower Apothecary. She holds the vision that medicine and food (which are often the same!) must be accessible to all individuals and communities, and that one’s yard should be the first place in which you find it. She believes in creating beautiful and bountiful ecosystems that nourish the Earth, body, mind, and spirit. She loves the birds, the bees, and all the wild edible greens!
Eran spends most of his time thinking about his family, and about plants. His vision for the Midwest (and the world) includes nature-gardens and farms being shared by communities, spawning independence from the industrial mono-crop grain fields, and the restoration of the native prairie. On he free time he noodles on the guitar, and sings to his daughters and to the trees and bees.
