Honeybees

Honey Bees are fascinating insects. We’ve been enjoying their sweet yummy honey for thousands of years, but recently it hasn’t been so sweet for our bees. Honey bee colonies are dwindling, does the term colony collapse disorder or CCD ring a bell? Beekeepers such as myself have been losing anywhere from 30-50% of their hives yearly. Pesticides, mites & disease are all to blame. Come learn how local municipalities and farms are making a difference by helping  beekeepers care for these amazing insects.
