Happy World Bee Day! 🐝🌼

Congratulations to Autumn Capeder of the Lucky Clover Valley 4-H Club for being selected to represent Missouri in the national 4-H Beekeeping Essay Contest sponsored by the Foundation for the Preservation of Honeybees.

Autumn’s essay, “Bees and Pollen,” shares the important relationship between bees, pollen, and the environment while highlighting the role pollinators play in providing food, flowers, and clean air. Her essay was selected as Missouri’s entry for the national competition, recognizing her hard work and curiosity in learning about pollinators and agriculture.

Way to go, Autumn, and best wishes in the national contest! 🐝

The more you know, the more you grow! 🌱💚

Youth attending this year’s Teen Conference are encouraged to bring a new or gently used book(s) to help support a local children’s hospital.

Can’t attend Teen Conference but still want to help? We welcome donations from anyone who would like to send books along with participating youth or county groups! 🍀

Every book shared can help bring comfort, imagination, and joy to a young person spending time in the hospital. PLUS, donations will help regions earn points in the annual spirit competition!

Small acts of kindness can make a big impact. 💚
