Get out and plant some pollen producing plants in your own yard (sunflowers, lavendar, honeysuckle, rosemary etc). Use seeds or cuttings from friends, neighbors, garden clubs - try to avoid buying packaged seeds. We need to start using a source that is safe and reliable.

Keep BEElieving
Please post a comment if you hear any news on the widespread bee disappearance across the US. This topic is fascinating and worrisome. One theory I've heard first-hand is the increasing use of genetically altered seed which produce a pollen on which the bees cannot survive. As the bees are disappearing, not dying, it leads one to believe they are seeking an alternative food source elsewhere. Not good news for our food industry, or our eco-system in general.
