A Time of Thanks and Giving
The Bee Informed Partnership is entering into a time
of growth. We are receiving requests from commercial
beekeepers to expand the technical transfer teams to other
areas of the country. For this, we are grateful. We are
excited to continue to serve some beekeepers who have
been with us for more than 5 years and we are thrilled to
meet new participants. We truly have the best job in the
world. As our teams try to service as many beekeepers
as possible, additional funds are needed to create new
teams, get them on the ground and working with more
operations because we know that they have a measurable
impact. For the first time, we are trying our hand at a
crowdfunding campaign to raise money in support of the
new and current teams. As the holiday season approaches,
if you have someone in your family who has everything
and cannot think of what to give them, think of us. Your
gift to support our teams will also have a measurable
impact. Every dollar will go into the support of one of
our teams and since we are a nonprofit, your gift is fully
tax deductible. Here is the link to donate or share our
campaign:
We all want to make a difference and now you can.
Thank you from all of us.
