American beekeepers are facing an unfair challenge.

Honey consumption in the U.S. is at an all-time high, yet American beekeepers now supply just 17% of the market, down from 80% forty years ago.

Adulterated imported honey is one of the reasons. It undercuts American beekeepers and erodes consumer confidence in what’s really in the jar.

Today, I’m asking our beekeeping community to stand together by signing a letter supporting stronger standards for honey.

You may have seen 701 Tree Service LLC up at our tree shed today. We are having trees removed that are dangerously close to the building. But don't worry, some parts are going to good use. We will have outreach education tree "cookies" and a neighbor took some ash, chokecherry, and crabapple wood for his own wood smoking needs.
The trees will be replaced with fruiting shrubs and pollinator friendly perennials for the community to enjoy.
Thanks again, Brent Huso and his crew!
