Emergency Food for Millions of Bees After Hurricanes
In partnership with Mann Lake, the Florida State Beekeepers Association, and Cargill, responded to Hurricane Helene’s devastation by providing emergency food supplies to beekeepers in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.

This effort is part of an ongoing mission to support beekeepers and protect vital pollinators as they recover.
