Beekeepers gather for holiday party, recognize Carson City designation as state's Bee City USA
Great Basin Beekeepers of Nevada, a group of about one hundred local beekeepers, gathered Saturday, Dec. 8 at the Bee Magic Building located in Mound House. Through the efforts of this dynamic organization, Carson City was recently designated as Nevada’s first Bee City USA. It is the 76th Bee City USA.
The best of the best potluck provided a delicious meal while the beekeepers; their families and friends mingled and awaited the excitement of the raffle drawing for the 98 prizes the members had collected.
With the generous community contributions and support, from the American Flag that hung over the nation’s Capitol to an overnight stay at the Hard Rock Hotel, and numerous gift certificates for dining, groceries, beauty treatments and homemade jams, jellies, jewelry, candles, hats, cups, books and much more.
The money collected from the raffle will be used to support the club’s mission to educate and mentor area beekeepers and to promote awareness of the current threat that pollinators around the world are facing through local education and the creation of sustainable habitats for pollinators.
