The city seal of Wilmington was prophetic: a beehive busy with worker bees rests on a dock in the Cape Fear River in this important Atlantic seaport city.  New Hanover County Beekeepers Association, under the leadership of Ashley Stephenson, got busy too to make their case for why Wlimington should be certified as a Bee City USA community.

We look forward to hearing how Wilmington is enhancing and expanding habitat for pollinators.
