#GloryBee launched #SavetheBee Savethebee.org in 2012 as a part of our
social initiative program to directly support organizations dedicated to
saving the honey bee and combating colony collapse issues. We have been
generating an increasing amount of awareness over these past four years
and donating 100% of the funds raised to Oregon State University's Honey
Bee Lab.
We were delighted to have OSU¹s very own Dr. Ramesh Sagili, Assistant
Professor of Apiculture, attend our annual Bee Weekend event for the
second year in a row to formally accept our donation check. The $65,118.68
check presented this year was a combination of all funds raised for Save
the Bee throughout 2015, including a percentage of our own GloryBee retail
and beekeeping sales as well as partner promotions and donations. This
year's check was nearly 50% more than last year's $44,783 check, and we
hope to keep this upward trend going in years to come!
