ScientificBeekeeping is a not-for-profit enterprise, and I’m happy to receive notes of thanks for how information on this site has contributed to my readers’ success at beekeeping (and sometimes saved them hundreds or thousands of dollars).  It is your support that allows me to devote my life to this site.  All donations go towards website maintenance, bee research costs (typically tens of thousands of dollars per year), re-donations to fund research by others, and a small amount to partially offset the huge number of hours that I spend in research and writing.  I guarantee that every penny is pinched and well spent!

I appreciate the notes of support that I receive from all over the world.  Seeing who is donating,  their locations, and the little notes that come with contributions help to let me know how I should direct my research and writing.  In appreciation, and in order to show who is supporting my research and writing, I honor below those who have recently made substantial donations:
