Great Swamp Watershed Association HQ 568 Tempe Wick Rd, Morristown, NJ, United States

Start your morning with purpose at our next Breakfast Briefing, featuring Jim Muchmore—Honey Bee Ambassador, beekeeper, and steward of Muchy's Bee Farm. As an active member of the Morris and Somerset County Beekeepers Association (mscbees.org), Jim is deeply committed to reversing the alarming trend of honey bee decline, with losses exceeding 50% in New Jersey and across the country. Honey bees are under stress. From pests and pathogens to pesticides and, increasingly poor nutrition, multiple threats are weakening colonies and putting essential pollination services at risk. In this engaging presentation, Jim will take us behind the scenes of modern beekeeping, highlighting how dedicated beekeepers help sustain healthy hives—and how those efforts ripple across entire ecosystems.
