Introduction
Bees are an essential part of the ecosystem to any garden big or small. From the backyard gardener to the farmer that is growing thousands of crops every year, we are all dependent on the bee for pollinating our plants.
There has been a lot of talk about the bees disappearing and how scary the prospect of not having bees around is for our future, and the future of food production.
One way to get the bees coming back and helping us pollinate our plants is to keep a bee hive of your own and support the population of bees! There are so many different ways to do this-- from buying a small bee kit, to keeping large hives and harvesting honey, all of it support the life of bees!
