At this level you support us buying enough winter food for the bees for one hive
This gift will enable us to buy a new "super" which is the box where bees put their excess honey that we extract!
This gift will allow us to buy enough mite treatments to last the year!
Have you ever seen a swarm of bees before? This will allow us to purchase equipment to capture swarms in WNY and relocate them to our hives where they will be safe.
A new hive suit costs around $150, and your gift here will help us purchase bee suits to give tours and run workshops for students, faculty, staff, and the WNY community. You'll get a free tour/experience at the hives with Dr. Hoekstra and UB Bees student volunteers
A new package of bees is called a nucleus. This amount will enable us to buy a new hive of bees in the event that one of our hives die off over the winter :(
A new hive and all equipment costs around $500, and your donation will help us grown and maintain our hives as they get damaged from time and weather.
A huge gift! This will enable us to purchase a honey extractor and be able to harvest a lot of honey.
