Help to restock our honey Bee's after AH invasion

Hi, I'm Peter from Marsh Apiaries and recently at our apiary site in capel-le-ferne we have had a big invasion of Yellow legged hornets AKA Asian hornet, these evil little things have killed many of our hives and wildlife in the local area and left us in a position without the honey production this year, meaning our bees have either died or will be to weak to survive the winter. We are doing everything we can to keep the hives we have left going over the winter but even with them numbers coming into spring 2024 we will still not have enough bee's to produce honey and survive the 2024 session.

So with all this being said I guess it my time to reach out to the public and ask for a little help as these bee's and wildlife is what helps keep our world running and food being produced. With the money we raise we will be putting every penny back into the bee's by buying 10 nucs at the first opportunity in spring and sourcing our wildlife eggs/babies to raise and release in capel-le-ferne. And allowing us to buy more traps and bait to help keep our site as safe as possible. And to help with spring trapping as this is the only way forward

We are know this isn't a lot and a thank you doesn't seem enough from us to you but we will use a hive to write everyone's name on that donates.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Marsh Apiaries..
