Honey harvest program imparts job skills via beekeeping education.

TULSA, Okla. - The John 3:16 Mission recently conducted its annual honey harvest at the Refuge Campus Service Center, where recovery students gain hands-on job training in beekeeping. Now in its 11th year, this event goes beyond honey collection, as it aims to provide work experience and build confidence for individuals facing homelessness, equipping them with skills for long-term employment.

The vocational training program enables students to engage in all aspects of honey production, from extraction to bottling. CEO Steven Whitaker emphasized the harvest's significance within the organization's business model, stating that it focuses on restoring lives and offering opportunities for those who have experienced homelessness to regain stability.
