Propolis Projects, LLC, developed by the Levin Family Foundation, is dedicated to revitalizing pollinator populations in Ohio, particularly honey bees, which are facing alarming declines. These reductions stem from factors like disease, pests, habitat loss, and pesticide exposure, posing serious risks to natural ecosystems, agricultural productivity, and the broader economy. In response, Propolis Projects champions a collaborative approach involving state colleges and universities to train and certify new beekeepers while also developing resilient honeybee breeds suited for Ohio’s environment.

The initiative emphasizes public education about pesticide impacts near pollinator habitats, establishes best practices for apiaries, and promotes sustainable management of pollinator resources. By forging a community-centered network, Propolis Projects aims to inspire awareness and collective action to safeguard these essential species. Their mission not only addresses ecological challenges but also supports the agricultural sector’s viability, ensuring the continued availability of various fruits, nuts, and vegetables critical to our diets. Through community engagement and research, Propolis Projects is paving the way for a thriving future for pollinators.
