Why Get Involved?
UPDATE: Winter 2024-2025 Honeybee Losses Nationally: 65%!
Sponsoring honeybees is more important than ever during this time of widespread losses across the country and right here in Maine. Honeybees are vital pollinators that support our ecosystems, agriculture, and food security.
By sponsoring honeybees, you directly contribute to rebuilding and sustaining vital colonies, helping to reverse declines caused by changing climates, pests, and environmental threats. Your support promotes healthier populations, preserves biodiversity, and ensures the continued pollination of crops essential to our local economy and environment. In times of crisis like these, everyone’s involvement makes a meaningful difference in protecting our pollinators and securing a sustainable future.
Help turn the losses pictured on the left into thriving hives as pictured below!
How Can I Help?
Hood Brook Apiary’s “Saving the Honeybees” Initiative offers programs that allow you to assist in honeybee conservation without becoming a beekeeper. Options include sponsoring a Package of Bees, a “Nuc,” or an entire colony—each providing a meaningful way to support pollinators without the responsibilities of hive management.
Ideal for those with limited time and space, or those wishing to avoid stings, these programs enable you to contribute to environmental health effortlessly. Benefits include: a framed certificate, hive visits, newsletters with updates and photos of your sponsored bees, and, of course, honey—our programs offer more honey rewards than any similar programs in North America.
Sponsor honeybees today & help ensure a thriving future for pollinators.
