Did you know honey bees add over $15 billion in value to our nation’s crops, particularly specialty crops such as almonds and other nuts, berries, fruits, and vegetables? In all reality, honey bees enhance any garden because they increase the yields of plants that require pollination, they produce honey, and they are one of nature's most fascinating creatures to observe. Unfortunately, parasitic mites cause serious health problems for most varieties of honey bees. Learn about honey bee management and the benefits of honey bees in your garden during this exciting lecture. |
