Hello All.

I wanted to let you know that all our Burgh Bees Tee Shirts are back in stock and 100% eco-printed with plant-based inks on 100% ORGANIC Cotton in all colors.

We did a few new options, in addition to the traditional logo. (image samples below)

The Black and Gold - A Natural Dyed 100% Organic Tee:
Made with a sustainable dye system that uses minerals to transform these 100% organic cotton tees into colors that are not only beautiful and one-of-a-kind, and earth-friendly.

The Hive Mind:
This custom-illustrated graphic bee mandala is a reminder for all beekeepers to have an open mind, be supportive, encourage other beekeepers, and work together to have a thriving local bee-keeping network and community. The Illustration was created by Kyle Pattison, past Director, and Apiary manager for Burgh Bees.

For the past two beekeeping seasons, the presence of the Spotted Lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) has rapidly increased in the greater Pittsburgh area, affecting our local beekeeping community in a number of ways. Join Burgh Bees Director and Certified Master Beekeeper Christina Neumann at Hop Farm in Lawrenceville, for an open discussion on SLF’s impact, from both horticultural and apicultural perspectives. At the event, we’ll be organizing a honey swap, so we can begin to compare tasting notes for this unique new honey profile in our region. Bring a 1-1.5 ounce jar of your fall reserves to included in the profile.
