Start saving your change so we can spread the honey around. Honey and beeswax can be sold to pay for education, healthcare, or other needs. The bees also pollinate plants, increasing fruit and vegetable yields. As our teams provide farmers with beekeeping equipment and training, we are able to lead many to Christ. It cost only $35 a hive. [If you need a container, some are located on the hall table.]

We are only $6,575.90 away from our goal.
