I live in MN, my husband and I decided a few years ago to become bee keepers. We have 5 acres. We keep 2 hives here and have others in 2 different locations. It is so very interesting, I learn something new every year. Honey is good for so many things! We are just small hobbiests at this point, but are happy to do what we can to increase the bee population.

Living out here where we do, we’re very aware of the bee population decline – we rely on them to have a good garden! We are working some local bee keepers to have some hives on our land next year and I can’t wait – we will even get some free [very] local honey from the deal.

I completely agree. We moved to a farm about five months ago and I plan on spreading wild flower seeds everywhere I can. I LOVE raw local honey and would like to have my own bee hives (we have a small orchard) some day. Before I can do that I need to have an inviting environment for the bees. Thanks for spreading the word about the problem.

Sandy,
I love honey too. I’ve been hearing about the bee problem for a few years now and I’m so glad to see you getting the word out. Hopefully the trend can be reversed.
