Tri-State Beekeeping Association Partnership
The Northern Panhandle Conservation District has partnered with the Tri-State Beekeeping Association in maintaining the apiary at the District Office in McMechen. This collaboration will provide hands-on educational programs for both association members and the general public, focusing on the importance of honeybees as vital pollinators and the challenges they face. By promoting awareness of honeybee conservation, the partnership aims to highlight programs like the WV Agricultural Enhancement Program, which offers access to funding for conservation practices that support local beekeepers in the Northern Panhandle. This partnership overall aims to protect and preserve honeybees and encourage sustainable beekeeping practices.
