Title: 2012 theme for National Honey Bee Day
Post by: BjornBee on December 09, 2011, 08:43:44 AM
This past year, Michael Adamson, from Madison, North Carolina, was the winner in selecting the 2011 theme for National Honey Bee Day. Michael is a member on this forum. His winning entry and details can be found here on the home page: http://www.nationalhoneybeeday.org/ (http://www.nationalhoneybeeday.org/)

Make sure you also click on the "2012 theme page" once on the site to read more details of the program.

So once again, we are hoping to get a few entries and select an appropriate theme for 2012. You can send along as many suggestions as possible. You can email through the website or PM me from here. Or simply post them.

Thank you.

"Its the end of the world as we know it".....sorry, just kidding :-D.  I'll try and think up a more positive entry.

Interesting, the site has no way to submit one even if you have one.

I guess a whole page on the website named "Contact Us" needs to be in bigger letters. Or the fact that you could email through this website (called PM's) or post your entry on this page, as I indicated in the original post.

That is three options.

So what were you looking for, beyond probably thinking we had no direct link on each and every page? But I'll assume you were speaking for the entire site, since that is what you said. "The site has no way to submit....." Which is wrong. Interesting.....indeed!

I'm trying guys. I really am.  :roll:

I don't know, I guess I expected a link on the page for submission.  Not to upset you.

What a nice suggestion. I'll probably add one. I don't want folks to get bogged down being lost in getting any entries submitted. KISS is in effect.

Agree completely, and do let us know if there's another petition you want filled out, was a little out of touch for a while so I never heard how last years turned out.  Hope there was some success.
