Colonies in Ukraine have been damaged by flooding, and many bees have lost their queens. A Queen Bee is the mother of the colony she rules, having produced most of the bees that live in her hive. Without the Queen, there would not be a colony. Will you help provide Queens, along with sugar and pollen replacement, to colonies in need?
why save ukraine's bees?
Bees provide critical pollination to crops, and honey production is a major industry in Ukraine. In fact, the country is one of the five largest producers of honey in the world.
Both issues are integral to the country's long-term food security and economy and the overall health of the global food chain. Many Ukrainian beekeepers had to flee their homes and abandon their hives, which were eventually destroyed by Varroa mites or the impact of munitions, rockets, and chemicals. Furthermore, beekeeper equipment in those areas was left in ruin. There is now concern about the viability of the surviving forage and whether it will produce the bulbs needed to feed the bees.
