Bees

   Believe it or not, most people I know don't have a clue on what bees do for the garden. They pollinate every kind of flowering plant you can think of: Grass, Corn, Oranges, Grapes, Apples, Olives everything! And here is our latest visitor to the garden:

   Bees are vital to our survival. But they have been dying off in something called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Most people think it's a virus. But others think that it's just because of stress. Beekeepers are always traveling the country pollinating the local crops. This gives bees less time to rest, leaving us with dead bees. But we can change this. By planting flowers (See the flower tab above for a list of the flowers that would work), and by not using chemicals like neonicotinoids (neo-nik-ko-tan-oids) found in Poncho, Belay, or Clutch. We can improve the honey bee health status.
