We are collecting honey donations for the Pleasant Hill Children's Home for the next two meetings.
Over the years, our club’s honey donations have brought incredible sweetness and joy to the kids at Pleasant Hill Children’s Home. Pleasant Hill cares for more than 40 boys and girls across four cottages, and the children love filling their dining table honey jars with our local harvest.
We are collecting donations once again this fall. If you would like to contribute, please bring your honey to:
This Thursday's meeting, or
The October meeting
We will deliver all collected honey to the children’s home at the end of October or during the first week of November.
Thank you for your generosity and for continuing to share the fruits of our craft with these deserving children!

Between June 2024 and January 2025, a full 62% of commercial honey bee colonies in the United States died, according to an extensive survey.⁠
⁠
As soon as scientists at the USDA caught wind of the die-offs, they sprang into action—but their efforts were slowed by a series of federal funding cuts and layoffs. 6 months later, USDA scientists finally identified a culprit.⁠
⁠
According to a preprint posted last June, nearly all the dead colonies tested positive for bee viruses spread by parasitic mites. Alarmingly, every single one of the mites the researchers screened was resistant to amitraz, the only viable mite-specific pesticide—or miticide—of its kind left in humans’ arsenal.⁠
⁠
Tracking the rise of miticide resistance is critical, experts say. Honey bees pollinate more than 90 commercial crops in the U.S., generate between $20 billion and $30 billion in agricultural revenue, and play a key role in keeping the U.S. food supply stable.⁠
