York County Beekeepers' Association

"Beekeeping that is environmentally correct, economically viable and socially just."
 


"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only have four years of life left. 
No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more man."......
Often erroneously attributed to Albert Einstein
