Gregg played a huge role in getting us going again after a very bad winter at the Apiary. He was the first to get bees for us giving us the Honeybee Sponsors idea!
Rob has helped with a package of bees adding to what other sponsors contributed and played a role in our come back! He's been a big supporter from the get-go!
Mark & Ashley are neighbors up the road. They've been very helpful and have covered some major expenses that would have really slowed us down if they hadn't!
Seth has been a big help and supportive all along. His donations helped us feed the bees for the winter. We appreciate Seth's help has been extremely useful.
