i raise honeybees. honeybees account for 15% of pollination. farmers hire beekeepers to bring in bees. many other things pollinate plants. these hired beekeepers let their bees get all the pesticides and gmos resulting in the bee’s death. my organic garden is no problem. my bees are fine. everyone should try bees. they are easy, docile, don’t usually sting, and you get free pure honey. they are like pets and are not hard to raise.
