I’m all over this. I have fruit trees making some flowers, but damn few honeybees, at least compared to the memory of my youth in the 1960s. Like, 90% less honeybees. Honeybees were all over, then! Thick!
Now, like, almost extinct. What happened? What is happening?
This, I know:
1. No flowers, no bees. So first you gotta get your fruit trees to make flowers.
2. No bees, no fruit. (So even if you have flowers, you still need the bees.)
Where did all the bees go?
How do we get them to come back?
This is not a trivial question, if humans want to keep eating even after the end of agribusiness industrial-scale factory farm “food.”
Glyphosate unfortunately
Only organic fruit and veggies at our house. Those are the plants safe for bees.
