Happy World Honey Bee Day! World Honey Bee Day started in the United States in 2009 as "National Honey Bee Day". Beekeepers and associations petitioned the USDA and secured an official proclamation from the Secretary of Agriculture to honor honey bees and the practice of beekeeping. It quickly grew into an international observance held every third Saturday of August.
Whether you’re a beekeeper, grow plants for pollinators, support bees through your business, produce honey, conduct research, shape policy, tell stories, or love the bountiful fresh foods brought to us by honey bee pollination, we’re grateful for what you do!
We welcome everyone to join our network at Bee Health Collective and learn more about supporting research for honey bee health at https://www.projectapism.org/?utm_source=fb_page&utm_medium=Project+Apis+m.&utm_campaign=publer
