Hey guys, my best friend Weston Stroope is a commercial Beekeeper in Pleasanton, TX. This year they’ve been hit extremely hard by the loss of hives, probably as bad as I can remember him telling me. He’s easily the hardest working guy I know and this is out of the norm for him to ask for help, so I know he’s really wanting to make it through the season and keep things afloat.
The Stroope’s are one of the larger commercial operations in Texas between Weston, David (Dad), Rhea (uncle). They’ve and been in the industry for 50+ years.
Anything you could spare to help a hardworking guy to continue farming Bee’s and pollinating our crops across the US would be appreciated.
A few other links for reference of how bad it’s been leading into the 2025 season.
