Both Hurricane Helene and Milton have left a wake of destruction in the Southeast. The crucial role that bees play in agriculture has highlighted the need for support in sustaining colonies that have survived the recent weather events. Forage has been stripped from plants.
We are working alongside Greater Good Charities to identify beekeepers in need. If you are in an area impacted by Hurricane Helene or Hurricane Milton, please complete their Beekeeper Disaster Assessment Form.
Relief efforts specifically for beekeepers are underway. There are several ways you can help:
