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.

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
