Who can help get this to @johnrich? A 3-gen mililary family honeybee sanctuary is being ravaged in OH. This habitat was built by my grandpa and mom, the 1968 Ohio Honey Queen who convinced Gov Rhodes to start the Honey Festival.

There is nothing sweet about watching a living legacy get stung by bureaucratic greed while agencies play hot potato with our rights.

The wheels of progress are rolling right over us. We need a champion to help us protect our hives and make them stop! Please RT! 🐝🚜���🇸 #EminentDomain #PropertyRights #OhioNews #Honeybees

I know many people reading this will want to know every detail of the underlying dispute. I've made a deliberate choice not to try it in the court of public opinion.

I believe I've been shown grace by Jesus that I didn't earn. Because of that, I believe I'm called to extend grace to others—even when difficult questions need to be asked and mistakes may need to be addressed.

These are real people on both sides of this project. Everyone deserves the dignity of a fair process and the opportunity to correct errors if errors have been made. Extending grace doesn't mean surrendering our legal property rights or abandoning accountability. It means choosing dignity over malice and truth over public condemnation.

That's why I've focused on our family's story here instead. I trust that a transparent, independent review of the complete historical and engineering record will allow the evidence to speak for itself.

I am beyond grateful for everyone who helped to deliver this thread into the hands of someone who genuinely seems to care. Thank you, @johnrich , and thank you to everyone who shared our story.

@gizelle_234 @johnrich I have contacted both, but have not heard back. I know they're exceedingly busy with so many people facing the same challenge and my situation is simple but with many strings. I appreciate the prayers so much. Please pray mostly for my mother. This has taken such a toll on her.

@T_Blackhart @johnrich I may be a little biased, but I think my bees make the best honey!

Report and supporting evidence have been submitted through the USDA portal, John. Thank you.

To answer your question directly: our concerns involve agencies and entities as documented in the record we submitted.

The complete archive is preserved and available for any good-faith review. Truly, thank you!

Kind Regards,

@johnrich , thank you. We will submit a report immediately.

Our family has spent months documenting the historical title records, deeds, engineering plans, aerial photographs, National Archives research, and the agencies involved. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to point us in this direction. It means more than you know.
