Reference letter for a grant

January 20, 2020 Posted by Michele Colopy DEVELOPMENT, EDUCATION

If you or your beekeeping association is asked to write a support letter for a research project, an apiary at the local park, or for a fellow beekeeper applying for a beekeeping related job, you need to remember your reference / support letter represents the person / group which you support, as well as you. Spelling and grammar are important when writing any document. With spell check on computers there is no excuse for spelling errors. If a person offering their support from their bee club or as a reference for another beekeeper displays a lack of attention to details, grammar and spelling, it shows the reader you do not care about the details, then the person or project you support may not care about the details.

Is That Honey Real?

Jul 10, 2020

Imported honey contributes 75% of sales in the USA, meaning only a mere 25% was actually produced here. It is imperative to know the area that your honey came from and the way the beekeeper extracted it- especially for medicinal or allergy treatment use. Some honey can be dark as night while others are almost clear.

Mosquito Pesticide Spraying

Apr 16, 2021

"Regulatory impotence flows from the default assumption that industrial chemicals are safe, unless or until, unequivocally proven unsafe. Essentially human consumers are today’s guinea pigs of the chemical industry, just like the previous generation was for DDT, PCBs, asbestos, radiation and lead. Once a dangerous product is put on the market, it is only withdrawn after it has already caused large scale, undeniable damage and/or death."
