Bees get thirsty too! Don’t forget to keep a water source out for our pollinators! friendly yards

Provide a water source!
Think about leaving out a shallow dish where your pollinator visitors frequent. Just be sure to refresh the water source at least every five days to prevent mosquitoes from enjoying it as a breeding ground, as well.

So excited to have picked up & put on Save the Bees license plates! Have you got yours yet?

🐝 We are growing stronger together 🐝

We are officially at 1,722 "Save the Bees" plates on the road!

Our pollinators do so much for us from the food on our tables to the beauty of our Florida landscapes. Now it’s our turn to keep the momentum going.

The Goal: Can we hit 2,000 plates by the end of the month? I know we can!

Every plate sold truly helps the future of beekeeping. Funds go directly toward honey bee research, education, and so much more.

You can go to the FLHSMV website (or your local Tax Collector’s site) and buy a specialty plate voucher as a gift. It’s the perfect way to help a friend or family member upgrade their ride while supporting a great cause.

How to help:
1. Order yours today if you haven't yet!
2. Gift a voucher to the bee lover in your life.
3. Share this post to help us spread the word!

Let’s reach 2,000 and show everyone how much Florida cares about our bees!
