🐝 Isn’t she the cutest?

I bet you have every single supply needed to make her already on hand. That’s my favorite kind of project… turning a few leftovers into something that makes me smile every time I walk by.

For every honey bee license plate sold, the Kentucky State Beekeepers Association receives $10. With help from everyone across the state, we can make a massive impact!
These funds are going right back to supporting Kentucky beekeepers by helping them:
•Offer high-quality education and learning opportunities statewide
•Support bee health and management initiatives
•Advocate for beekeepers at the state level - Like last year’s increase to honey house limits and this year's ongoing effort to achieve a sales tax exemption for beekeepers!
This is an easy way for beekeepers, farmers, and pollinator supporters to show their pride and support the work being done for our beekeeping and agricultural communities.

Hopefully, all have heard about the devasting honey bee predator invasive species Yellow Legged Hornet (YLH) that is 200 miles from Kentucky. It's effectively established in Georgia & South Carolina. Kentucky State Apiarist Dr. Amanda Skidmore is hosting a learning session on Tues. April 7 at 7 p.m. Below is her flyer and Zoom sign in. ALL are welcome, even if you are not in Kentucky.
It's going to take all of us working together to keep YLH from killing 30% of our hives like it's doing in France. Ugh. YLH is here to stay so we need to join Amanda's citizen science so we know WHEN it gets to Kentucky and hold their populations low.
