Join the Fight to Save the Bees

See what the buzz is all about

Thank you to everyone who donated to the College of Veterinary Medicine’s Honey Bee campaign!
This year’s campaign has now come to a close.

UGA College of Veterinary Medicine has joined the fight to save the bees! We are the first vet school to include these important pollinators into our curriculum. Incorporating Honeybee medicine is important, because:

  • Apiaries can be used to expose veterinary students to important clinical competencies.
  • And veterinary expertise is needed to improve honeybee health.

Working with honeybees provides a great teaching opportunity for veterinary students during all four years of their training and exposes future veterinarians to their role in maintaining honeybee health. Armed with an exposure to and education in honeybee medicine, future UGA graduates will be able treat a house call to an apiary with the same level of comfort and expertise as they would bring to any other house call, whether for a pet or a farm animal.

We hope you enjoy our “Healing Honey,” harvested right here at the UGA Veterinary Teaching Hospital.

With your contribution of $100, you will receive one bottle of “Healing Honey.”

*The tax deductible amount of your donation will be reduced by the fair market value of the honey ($4). If you would like to receive multiple jars of honey, please make separate contributions for each jar. Qualifying donors will have their honey shipped in 2-4 weeks.
