Welcome to the Beekeepers Relief Fund webpage. Here we will describe who we are, where we came from, what we do, and how you can help.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to offer prompt support to beekeepers during critical events such as emergencies, illnesses, crises that necessitate specialized beekeeping skills, equipment replacement, or financial assistance. We aim to bolster beekeepers and promote the well-being of honeybees.
Ways We Can Help Beekeepers
Hive Management and Assessment
Beekeeping is so specialized that only a beekeeper can fill in for another beekeeper. If a tragedy or sudden illness occurs that diminishes care for the bee colony or leaves the bees unattended, the Beekeepers Relief Fund has the ability to assess the condition of the hive(s) and arrange proper management until the urgency has ended.
Beekeeping Equipment and Supplies
If apiary damage is sustained from a devastating event that puts the wellbeing of the honeybees in jeopardy, the Beekeepers Relief Fund can provide replacement equipment and supplies. If damage is far greater than our reach, we can offer referrals to government contacts for further assistance.
Financial Assistance
Many times, we want to offer something to another to help them regain what is lost. Most often, nothing comes to mind at the time, but experience shows that the best thing to get right away is financial assistance. The victims often do not know what is next until they get there. Money helps. It is the simplest thing to give and the most important thing to receive.
