Success is a Dream Turned into Reality

The Goal has been reached!

Ground Breaking Ceremony for the new Honey Bee Exhibit was held at the Zoological Park in Asheboro, NC on Friday December 14, 2007. The goal of $160,000 has been surpassed, and more pledges are expected to come in. Construction will start mid-2008, with the opening of the Honey Bee Exhibit in early 2009.

As NCSBA President, Charles Heatherly said,

For those of you who missed attending the Ground Breaking ceremonies for our new Honeybee Exhibit at the North Carolina Zoo ..., it was a splendid event. .... It will be a real asset for both the NC Zoo and North Carolina beekeepers. Congratulations and many thanks to all of you who have worked and contributed to make this happen.

A cooperative effort by the North Carolina State Beekeepers Association
and the North Carolina Zoological Park.
