BEE-THINKING ABOUT PARTNERSHIPS

James meets with potential business collaborators in Portland, OR.

Located in Portland, Oregon, BeeThinking is the “world’s first beekeeping supplier specializing in foundationless [hives]”. Also calling Portland home, James was able to meet with the owners of BeeThinking to establish a partnership for The Market Project’s work in British Columbia, Canada. The Market Project would work as an intermediary between BeeThinking and a TMP Enterprise in Canada employing the First Nations people of Victoria Island. Our aim is to capitalize on the emerging niche market for green, handcrafted, wood products and improve livelihoods while we do so.
