We are very thankful for the outpouring of support from people from near and far who have shared our story, tweeted, posted to Facebook and suggested locations or connections.
Many thanks to those who answered the call and made a donation towards our apiary relocation. We are happy to say that so far $5,125.00 has been raised. We are trying for $20,000.00 by the end of February so we still need a lot of help.
We are hoping to have enough money on hand when the move comes to cover not only the cost of moving but also the likelihood that we will have to fence at least one or two locations which will cost several thousand dollars.
