I want to thank everyone for being patient during this process. This batch goes out to all backers in the lower 48. You should receive your package sometime next week. I have 5 international orders yet to ship and still 8 people who have not completed the survey, but their is light at the end of the tunnel. I can't wait to hear what you think. 

I am so happy to announce that the books arrived at my house, well 1,000 of them anyway. The other 3,000 are being warehoused because I just don't have the space right now. I just checked a few minutes ago and thanks to all of you 306 books were purchased and 296 will be donated to our 6 organizations and several elementary schools.
I wouldn't "bee" here without you!
Thank You
Give me some time to prepare to ship your books. I will start hand delivering orders next week and mailing the following week.

Hello Bugzee Backers,
Today is my birthday!!! Thank you for being patient while we wait for the shipment of books to arrive. I received word that the books will be in port on April 27th. I hope to have them in my possession by the middle of May and in your hands shortly thereafter.

We are still missing about 29 surveys and/or address updates. If you don't complete your survey, I will be unable to send your books when they arrive.   I went in and updated local pickups who were either missing an address or survey. If you see my address 23855 Hollywood Road, don't panic. I put it in as a place holder in order to move forward with the process. Another link will be coming soon for your survey. Thank you

Some good news:  Bugzee and the Bees was one of four books awarded a Story Monster Approved designation in the area of Cultural Diversity in 2024.

On Thursday of this week, we were rubbing noses with titans in the literary world.  It was amazing to speak with authors creating books for underrepresented populations.

I'll let you know when I have the books. You'll "bee" hearing from me soon.

Hello everyone,
Thank you so much to everyone who has completed their survey thus far. I checked in about 17 days ago and we have not made much progress. I won't be able to send you your books and goodies without a completed survey.

The survey has about 4 questions and will take just a few minutes to complete. If you can't find the survey, please click here to retrieve it.  https://bugzee-and-the-bees.backerkit.com/   As always, thank so much.

While you wait for Bugzee and the Bees, please consider downloading a Free ebook of The Legend of the Sleep-Eating Elephant here: https://tinyurl.com/GetFreeElephantEbook

Hello Bugzee Backers,
The Backerkit survey was sent to you earlier in the week. There are a few questions for you to answer regarding your order.  I will send more information about the shipping charge (if you are not a local pick-up) closer to the time when the books will arrive at my home.
So far, 36% of you have completed your survey, Thank you!
