Florida Beekeeper Hurricane Recovery Fund

FLORIDA BEEKEEPERS NEED YOUR HELP!! I am Tammy Sadler with Bee-Haven Honey Farm. I am combining efforts with Sadler Honey Farm, Eli Mendes of Tropic Trailer, and the FSBA* (Florida State Beekeepers Assoc) to raise funds for commercial beekeepers who have suffered devastating hive losses. On September 28, Hurricane Ian landed in Southwest Florida and swept across our state. Thousands of hives have been washed away, flooded, and damaged. Honey houses and equipment losses are astronomical. Vegetation has been stripped bare, so bees are robbing and starving without supplementation. Brazilian Pepper trees are no exception, leaving us with a second failed honey crop this year. Pollination contracts will go unfilled, resulting in reduced crop yield and shortages at the produce stand. This fund will be distributed to help replace and rebuild lost and damaged hives as quickly as possible. Please consider donating today!

*FSBA is the beneficiary of this fund.
