Bee Health Collective

Happy Pollinator Week! This week celebrates the importance of all pollinators, their health and habitats. Honey bees are no exception, facing many challenges in their crucial role pollinating our food! To do more for bees, PAm has created a new charity, the Bee Health Collective.

Bee Health Collective, a network of collaborators including researchers, beekeepers and businesses supporting bees is dedicated to funding research that enhances their health, survival and productivity. Consider getting involved and supporting Bee Health Collective by giving a donation or joining our network!

Happy Pollinator Week!

Happy ! 🎉🐝🦋🐛🦇🪲🐞🐦

In 2007, Pollinator Partnership (P2) worked hard to gain the U.S. Senate’s unanimous approval and designation of a week in June as “National Pollinator Week”. This effort marked a necessary step toward addressing the urgent issue of declining pollinator populations.

Now in 2026, people throughout the month of June and around the world, take this time to recognize the economic value and ecosystem services provided by bees, birds, butterflies, bats, beetles, moths, wasps, and flies.

The great thing about beekeeping is that when you become a beekeeper, you join a whole network of bee advocates and knowledgeable bee experts that support one another to learn through hands-on experience. Beekeepers like George Hansen embrace mentorship by opening up his own headquarters to help new beekeepers learn during the Portland Metro Beekeepers Association annual Bee Day event.

It’s a great example of creating an opportunity for beekeepers to come together, share advice, and learn from one another:

The Portland Metro Beekeepers Association held its annual Bee Day event May 9 at Foothills Honey Farm in Colton, Ore. “This is to introduce beginner beekeepers into hives and get […]

World Bee Day is May 20th! This global initiative came from Slovenia, which has the highest density of beekeepers in the EU (the photo is one of many colorful Slovenian hive huts!) Slovenia is the indigenous home of the beloved Carniolan bee, widely used in the USA and Canada. Slovenia’s leadership doesn’t stop there, they offer and announce a global award, The Golden Bee Award, each year.

This year’s award is for advancing research on bees and PAm is thrilled to be considered for this recognition! We are so honored and appreciative that our work is recognized on a global level with others doing outstanding work advancing research on bees and other pollinators. Congratulations to all the organizations and people around the world dedicated to protecting and improving pollinator health!

The award ceremony is scheduled for World Bee Day at 9am PDT and will be live-streamed here: https://www.youtube.com/?utm_source=fb_page&utm_medium=Project+Apis+m.&utm_campaign=publer
