Apis Rescue Inc. is pleased to announce our first annual “The Bees Knees” event. This will be a 1920s-themed cocktail party with a selection of delicious appetizers from the O’Shea’s kitchen, tasty signature drinks using locally sourced honey, music, and socializing. We encourage you to dress according to the theme; however, there is no formal dress code.
Founded in 2021, Apis Rescue specializes in fostering local honeybee genetics to promote healthier, more sustainable apiaries that are better acclimated to the local climates. We are known for increasing public awareness of honeybees by holding beginner beekeeping classes, running a large honeybee Swarm Rescue Team that collects swarms from public and private property free of charge, as well as hosting a yearly Beekeeping and Research Conference.
This will be our most significant fundraising event for 2025 and for each subsequent year. All proceeds raised at this event will be used to support our ongoing operations, which include honeybee research and education, focusing on increasing local honeybee survivability. Honeybees provide essential pollinator services to many of our food sources as well as providing us with products we use in our daily lives, like honey and beeswax.
We would love to have your support and your attendance!
