Mite Resistant Bees in Puerto Rico Need your help!
Puerto Rico has a special strain of honey bees that resists varroa mites. They could be a key to solving the mite epidemic, but natural disasters have decimated them. To help these important honey bees, Maryland State Beekeepers Association negotiated at-cost rates for us to buy and ship Puerto Rican beekeepers critically needed food supplements. NOW we need your donations to make this happen. Please go to Maryland State Beekeepers Association to make your tax deductible donation https://www.mdbeekeepers.org/.
