Blessed Bee

Oregon Sustainable Beekeepers, founded a decade ago, aimed to advocate for bees and native pollinators in a time of growing concern over bee die-offs. The group has worked to raise awareness about the harmful effects of pesticides, particularly neonics, on pollinator health, but has faced ongoing challenges as public policy often prioritizes corporate interests over scientific evidence.

As interest dwindled and members went their separate ways, the organization has announced that it may discontinue its efforts unless new volunteers step forward to continue the mission. The founder, Gary, expresses hope for the future of bees while acknowledging the disheartening reality faced by beekeepers and pollinator advocates alike.
