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.
