Overview

Mission

We are an educational not-for-profit 501c3, non-membership organization whose mission is to educate new, beginning, and small scale beekeepers, and others interested in honeybees and beekeeping, in honey bee disease recognition, and to provide services and information for beekeepers and the general public on maintaining healthy honey bee colonies in New York and the surrounding region, through an educational website, newsletters, surveys, workshops, webinars, and online videos.

What it reported doing in 2025

In the past several years our hands-on regional workshops targeted the largest beekeeping demographic (small scale operations) estimated to be well over 4,000. We have trained well over 1000 beekeepers from 25 beekeeping clubs in NYS (attached), from Long Island, to the North Country, Southern Tier, Hudson Valley, Finger Lakes, and Western New York. We conduct 2 surveys a year to assess bee colony numbers and beekeeper management for NYS beekeepers, conduct online webinars, maintain an educational website and YouTube channel, and issue quarterly newsletters.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 74% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
No current program activity. The filing reports no program spending for the current year.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
