Put NY Bee Wellness in the NYS Budget!

As you know, NY Bee Wellness as a 501c3 provides educational opportunities for the beginning and small scale beekeeper in NYS. The 2018 NYS Budget is currently under consideration. Now is the time to let Governor Cuomo, Agriculture Commissioner Ball, your Assembly person and State Senator know to allocate funds for NY Bee Wellness, Inc. We are asking for a modest amount ($27,000).
Please contact them either this week or next at the latest. Call or write, or do all
(calling and/or writing is best), to tell them to Put NY Bee Wellness in the NYS Budget!
Thank you
