Thanks to the help of many friends - some of you who follow this post! - High Mountain Pollinator & Bees is now a proud local non-profit and part of the 2022 Old Bill's Fun Run. Thanks to many generous donors, this event helping to raise funds for local non-profits, will match donations for groups on the giving list.
Our group's mission statement is: To provide quality education to beekeepers and promote pollinator habitat. There are no avenues for formal training in this region and enhancing habitat is always a good thing.
This is a tax write off, a way to help us get started, and a very good cause!! Consider making a donation so our little group can grow, we can help beekeepers become more educated, and plant more pollinating plants. It's a win-win for everyone!!
Click on this link. Choose Old Bills, then Conservation & Environment, they enter High as the keyword to search. It's as easy as pushing the "Simple" button! If you give us $10, we will get that plus a percentage from the pot! Last year that $10 was worth $15.70!! Pretty cool thing!!
We had an observation hive with live bees for people to see at the event. The Queen was marked with a blue dot, a drone was marked with a red dot, and many workers were marked with a white dot. Everyone really enjoyed seeing the bees on the comb. We handed out packets with fringed phacelia seeds so people could go home and plant some pollinators! It was awesome seeing the positive response at our booth!!
Here are some photos from the event and a QR code to scan if that is helpful! Thank you for considering giving up some green for our effort!!
