+⚠️**STATUS**: This project is being Sunset. See [this issue](https://github.com/honeycombio/beeline-nodejs/issues/733) for more details.
+
 ⚠️**Note**: Beelines are Honeycomb's legacy instrumentation libraries. We embrace OpenTelemetry as the effective way to instrument applications. For any new observability efforts, we recommend [instrumenting with OpenTelemetry](https://docs.honeycomb.io/send-data/javascript-nodejs/opentelemetry-sdk/).
 
 This package makes it easy to instrument your Express/NodeJS application to send useful events to [Honeycomb](https://honeycomb.io), a service for debugging your software in production.
