Oregon has a unique landscape of gardens, croplands, natural areas, and forests that help support and maintain approximately 600 species of bees. The State of Oregon is diligently working to maintain these pollinator species that are integral to the food supply and the natural environment around us.

Through the OBP, we distribute thousands of informational materials on a yearly basis. If you’re interested in learning about these materials and distributing them yourself, check out the Bee Advocate page.

A Strategic Plan for Keeping Oregon’s Bee Pollinators Healthy (2022-2027) provides a framework and set of goals designed by a panel of state experts to safeguard Oregon bees now and in the future.
