Our Mission
Our purpose as a nonprofit organization is to educate the public about the role that the honeybee plays in our own existence. We do this through educational programs made available to the general public and by working with all levels of educational institutions to support and enhance their bee-related curriculum in alignment with our mission. Our efforts include offering seminars, hands-on demonstrations, open forums, electronic media, beekeeping clubs, and hosting a yearly Honey Festival in the state of Michigan.
