Honey Bee Info

Do you see Honey Bees in your yards like you used to?

We are always asked, are the honey bees still struggling?  The answer is a simple YES.  The honey bee is very key to our survival. They are small mighty creatures that pollinate 85% of the food we eat.

At Huckle Bee Farms, we are continuing to study and improve new ways to handle what is being thrown at the Bees. It's not uncommon for a beekeeper to lose 25-40% of their hives every year.  This creates a major problem for the growth of the population.

So what is the cause?

You, me and everyone else.  The Honey Bees, like frogs are an early warning signal for mankind.

• More Chemicals are used, weed killers on yards

• Pesticides

• Farmers using more chemicals

• Contaminated water supply

• Possibly the increasing use of Cell Towers.

• New predators like the Varroa mite. 

 Being hit with one problem, they might make it, but being hit from all angles makes it hard to handle.
