Their survival will in turn determine our quality of life. People do not realize how important bees are to our world. I would LOVE to have a hive in my back yard, but my wife is against it right now, as we have a 5 year old and a 2 year old, and we live in the city. I have tried and tried to tell her that the bees will not bother our kids, JCrain3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03981058251623217459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710525766736736547.post-69958054626662151462012-03-26T20:59:56.715-04:002012-03-26T20:59:56.715-04:00Oh my!

There's just the right spot, by the creek and the fruit trees out back. We're trying to be as self-sufficient as we can in suburbia, and as my little guy pointed out, with honey from our own bees and the syrup from our trees, there'd be no shortage Amanda Greco Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10953608409309602678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710525766736736547.post-47607914168541919522012-03-26T16:28:02.666-04:002012-03-26T16:28:02.666-04:00I want to keep bees in part as a homesteading tool...I want to keep bees in part as a homesteading tool.
