Help Us Train Vets to Save the Swarm

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED TO THE UGA VET BEE PROGRAM FUND! THIS CAMPAIGN HAS COME TO A CLOSE. IF YOU WANT TO SUPPORT THIS CAUSE, YOU CAN GIVE HERE: UGA VET BEE PROGRAM FUND.

We’re proud to be the first veterinary school in the nation to integrate honeybee medicine into our curriculum, because saving the bees means saving our future.

Why honeybee medicine matters:

  • Apiaries give veterinary students hands-on experience with essential clinical skills.
  • Honeybee health is critical to agriculture, ecosystems, and food security — and veterinarians have a vital role to play.

Throughout all four years of training, our students work directly with honeybees, gaining unique insights into pollinator care. By the time they graduate, UGA veterinarians are equipped to treat an apiary visit with the same confidence and skill as any other animal care call—be it for a beloved pet or a farm animal.

Support Our Mission — Get a Taste of the Work!

With a $100 contribution, you’ll receive a bottle of Exclusive Honey, sustainably harvested from our very own hives at the UGA Veterinary Teaching Hospital.

Together, we’re training the next generation of veterinarians and helping protect one of our planet’s most important species.

*The tax deductible amount of your donation will be reduced by the fair market value of the honey ($4). Bottle purchases are limited to two per donor. Qualifying donors will have their honey shipped in 2-4 weeks.
