Bee Active!

If you haven’t viewed the PANNA link and video yet, please do so here:

Earth to EPA: Bees need HELP!

We also just found the pollinator.org site is asking for help. Look at this page, and sign the petition to keep highway (roadside) vegetation intact. This will help not only the pollinators, but other forms of wildlife, too.

Thanks for thinking of us, and contact us if you need more information.

Thank You

Anne Marie Schoonhoven nominated Emily for a Young Philanthropist Award, and Emily was selected. We are so proud and grateful. The ceremony will take place November 18th. We will post more then.

More thanks for permission to use the letter addressed to Administrator Jackson. PANNA recently allowed Emily to mail beekeeping clubs the letter asking for systemic pesticides to be reconsidered. This came as a result of watching the Dan Rather special posted last month. Thank you PANNA, and thank you to the beekeeping clubs who are participating.
