National Honey Bee Day

It’s all about bees on Saturday, August 18! The importance of the honey bee cannot be overstated. The primary goals of National Honey Bee Day are to promote and advance beekeeping, educate the public about honey bees and beekeeping, and make the public aware of the environmental concerns that impact honey bees. National Honey Bee Day honors the insect responsible for more than one-third of the food humans eat and those that work to protect them, such as beekeepers, beekeeping clubs and associations, honey bee enthusiasts, and pollinator habitat protectors. Bee associations, individuals and other groups are encouraged to get involved. The program is free and open to all.
