As I was getting ready to write today's blog I spotted this on Facebook. Below is a link to an MPR* segment about the diminishing bee population. While our hives are thriving there are many who have hives perishing. This should concern all of us whether we keep bees or not. Bees are critical to our food supply and, as I was told over the weekend by a local bee keeper, if the bees were gone today we'd be gone about 4 years later...something to think on.
