Please consider planting shrubs, flowers, and trees that attract our essential pollinators. Your commitment to this endeavor will have a positive impact our our local ecosystem. When pollinators thrive, we will benefit as well. Not only is it gratifying to watch the pollinators in your garden, they help your fruit trees and garden vegetables to flourish.

As seasoned beekeepers, we continue to be amazed by the harmonious collaboration and resourcefulness of our honey bee colonies. We have learned to greatly appreciate all bees and other pollinators as they contribute to the quality of life and well-being of our home, planet earth. As long-time members of the American Bee Federation, who does important work to advocate for beekeepers and their beloved honeybees, we want to share their post about World Bee Day. Where you live, we encourage you to create a natural habitat where all bees can thrive and continue the cycle of pollination to insure flourishing flora and fauna and abundant fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts.

we eat. HAPPY WORLD BEE DAY!
