About those Bees!
Honey bees forage for approximately 3 miles from their hive. Wildflowers are great for bees.
Consider planting some in your yard or garden. Even if you don’t have bee hives of your own, you will be providing necessary pollen sources for bees that may be coming from neighboring properties!
