Support the E.L. Niño Bee Lab
We are working every day to support honey bee health, empower beekeepers, and advance pollinator research that benefits California and beyond. As part of the University of California, your contribution is tax-deductible.
Your gift directly fuels:
- Cutting-edge research to combat threats like mites, viruses, and habitat loss.
- Hands-on training for beekeepers through our California Master Beekeeper Program (CAMBP).
- Public education and outreach that connects science to community action including through the UC Davis Honey Bee Haven.
- Student mentorship and field opportunities that grow the next generation of bee scientists.
Pollinators are essential to our food systems and ecosystems—and they need our help. With your support, we can continue to innovate, educate, and lead with science.
In-kind donations are also welcome, please contact us.
