| Q: |
I haven’t seen as many bees around this year as I have in the past. I’ve also heard about some problems with bees? How are the bees doing? |
| A: |
European honey bees should be distinguished from other native flying and pollinating insects like bumblebees and wasps. Both honey bees and native pollinators face many problems these days. Honey bees are susceptible to pests and diseases, and Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), while native pollinators have less suitable habitats available. Determine which bees you have in your area and research what you can do to support them. |
| Q: |
What type of honey is best? |
| A: |
A great variety of honey is available through markets and grocery stores. The taste and colour of honey varies with how it has been processed and stored, and the types of plants and trees the bees visit. We recommend trying as many types as possible, with an emphasis on local raw and unpasteurized. Get to know the types of honey available from your local beekeeper! |
