Great Missouri Buzz OffNew Missouri Initiative Holds Promise for Increased Interest in Honey Bees and the Promotion of Beekeeping!
A new beekeeping initiative called “The Great Missouri Buzz Off” was launched Friday, May 11th at the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis. Led by the Missouri Department of Agriculture and partnered with the Missouri State Beekeepers Association, Missouri Botanical Garden and St. Louis Zoo, the “Buzz Off” is designed to start a buzz about bees, promote their importance to food production and encourage Missourians to visit the state-sponsored website at AgriMissouri.com and learn about beekeeping.
The MSBA will play a key role in the implementation and promotion of this initiative. Speaking at the Botanical Garden to launch the initiative were Missouri Director of Agriculture Dr. Jon Hagler, Missouri Botanical Garden Vice President of Horticulture Andrew Wyatt, St. Louis Zoo’s Curator of Invertebrates Ed Spevak and Missouri State Beekeepers Association Vice President John Timmons.
