Donations to Support Beekeeping

Honeybees

pollinate 80% of all flowering plants including more than 130 fruits and vegetables.

• 33% of our food would disappear without bees.

• In the United States, more than one-third of all crop production – 90 crops ranging from nuts to berries to flowering vegetables - requires insect pollination.

• Managed honey bee colonies are our primary pollinators, adding at least $15 billion a year by increasing yields and helping to ensure superior-quality harvest.

The cost to maintain an apiary often exceeds revenue from sales of honey and related products. Donations are always welcome and appreciated.
