Questions and Answers:
Q: What is a skeptic?
A: We follow the philosophy of "scientific skepticism". This means that we require evidence up to scientific standards for all of our beliefs.
Skeptics love the phrase "prove it" and love it when the request is answered. You will often find us working as a kind of consumer protection. Challenging practitioners of a supernatural or alternative medicine products and services to test and prove their claims.

Q: I'm in, where do I start?
A: First off, vote! Get out there and make your voice heard in our political system.
Next, join our investigations team! We could always use more help. Contact leadership for more information. You can also help administrate and host events, start a local chapter in your city/county, and help grow our community.

Let people in your life know skeptics are not just cynics, debunkers, and we are not deniers. Invite them to Beehive Skeptics events!

Q: I am a practitioner of a supernatural or alternative medicine practice. (reiki, acupuncture, professional psychic, medium, naturalist, homeopath, ghost hunter, cryptid hunter, faith healer, ex...) Is this group for me?
A: We would love to talk to you! We as skeptics are interested in the truth, not our ideals. We would be ecstatic to see undeniable, falsifiable proof of any supernatural claim. If you feel the supernatural is real and can prove it in a scientific and falsifiable test, contact us! We will work with you to create a falsifiable test of the claims. If feasible, we will test it ourselves. If it passes, we will help facilitate entry to earn 500K!
