I am convinced that, for the moment, the most common point of view is: 'How little can we spend on the bees and still get them to make honey?' If some beekeeper says, 'Feed them sugar water, ' their point of view must be: 'Because it's cheaper than honey.' If not, then they are just repeating what they have been told without having their own point of view. No one who bases their thinking about bees on observation would ever think to feed them sugar, which comes from a root (beet sugar) or a stem (cane sugar). This sugar is simply not their diet, and digesting it must be difficult for them. --Jack Bresette-Mills

You might have heard that bees are in trouble. Actually, we are all in trouble. Honeybees are essential to the health of our planet and our food supply, and backyard beekeepers may be the answer to increasing our population of strong, healthy honeybees. We can contribute substantially as beekeepers. We can help in a thousand ways to save and increase our honeybee population while watching our gardens grow!
