2010 National Honey Bee Day

Participating Groups and Events

Please note: The National Honey Bee Day program is based on education and promotion of the beekeeping industry. We realize that the public expects to have honey and other items available for purchase at such events. Selling honey or signing up new beekeepers for the association is expected. Having a few fliers at the end of a market booth where you normally sell honey does not constitute a "program". We will NOT list individual or company events that are focused solely on profiting from the National Honey Bee Day event. Two requirements must be met. 1) A program must be tailored to educate, promote, and advance beekeeping to the public. (This is not about selling to fellow beekeepers.) And 2) The event must be FREE to attend, unless extenuating circumstances dictate otherwise.

Below is a list of county associations who have committed to an activity on National Honey Bee Awareness Day, August 21, 2010 If you are a beekeeper and do not see your association listed, contact your association officers.

Note: We have automatically copied the 2009 participants for the 2010 program. We will confirm with each listing to ensure participation in 2010.
