As we all are aware of by now, that there is a popular belief that “honey bees” in America are endangered!… Or are they? The “farmed” honey bees were never native to the Americas until the British and French settlers introduction them back in the day as a means to help boost crop production. They say the populations of one of our most important pollinator have been declining for years and nobody knows why. “Cough Cough!”. Keep in mind that the fact is, it’s Americans own beloved black n yellow “Bumblebee” whos butt are in trouble. Mass wasteful development, pesticide in farming, continue misuse of natural resources, and the refusal to recycle have all taken their toll on sustainable natural habitat. Many crops that we take for granted would be difficult or impossible to grow without “Bumblebees”.
So go ponder on that one for a while before you go clear off a wooded lot for your trailer and two junk cars!

Making a home for Italian, Mason, & Carniolan bees is a bit like putting up a birdhouse. You don’t need special equipment or crazy protective gear, and you can mostly ignore it during most of the year. If you’re not one to make a living by harvesting the honey, it’s not pointless to have a healthy hive nearby. The busy bees will keep your landscaping tree, shrubs, and flowers in constants coloration all year long!
Though, Italian, Mason, or Carniolan honey bees can do the work 100 times faster and more focused than standard Bumblebees. Raising farmed bees may take some pressure off the local BumbleBee population and helps to keep a variety of other pollinators healthy and bountiful.
