Honey |
|
| |
It's important that your bees have enough honey to see them
through the winter; so, in the first year, you'll likely have
to leave what they produce in the hive. Don't worry, by the
second year, you'll probably have more honey than you know
what to do with.

The Rewards |
|
| |
Beekeeping
is an exciting hobby that provides many benefits. First, you
get the chance to observe the honeybees' organization and drive,
which will amaze you. Second, your garden will prosper, and
so will your neighbors' gardens. And finally, you may find that
things in life take on new meaning—the weather, the planting
of farmers' crops, trees in bloom, wildflowers in ditches, insectivorous
songbirds, etc. Ready access to your own delicious honey is
only one small part of the overall reward. |
