NCSU Field Honey Bee Laboratory Update – NC Senate budget

June 4, 2019 By Jessica Mjelde

Dear Members:

We are one step closer to achieving our longtime goal of building a new field honeybee laboratory for the North Carolina State University Apiculture Research Program. 

That came this week when a $2 million-dollar appropriation for the project was included in the North Carolina Senate budget proposal. 

This is not the end of the matter, however. The Senate Budget must be reconciled with the House budget, which does not include that proposed funding. Now we need your help once again. Please contact local your General Assembly Representative and remind them how important honeybees are to our economy and the environment. And specifically ask the to push their leaders to keep the Bee Lab Funding in the budget. 

Your calls and contact with your representatives were a major factor in getting this far. So, please keep working towards this goal. 

Thank you for all your help, we’re not done yet. Your involvement and support are critical now more than ever.

Regards, 

Paul Newbold

President, NCSBA
