I thought I would pass along this critical update that was recently posted on Garden Rant. It scares me to know how fast our bee numbers are declining. It's just another reason I wish more people would support this fragile system and start their own hives. Our food supply relies on it.
And I would hope that more people would grow plants that nourish and/or have medicinal value FOR those honeybees and other important pollinators. We need them all: hived honeybees, native bees, insect pollinators, etc. Each have their strengths and we need all of those good strong bugs! :-D
ReplyDeleteIt is scary what is happening to our bees. We all need to be more aware.
ReplyDeleteI have been talking to friends and a few have decided to add bees. It doesn't take too much to tend them and lots of folks are curious...just approach them!
