		<description><![CDATA[By now, most people are aware of the declining honeybee population. What is not as well know is wild bees are having the same problems. Wild bees are important because in many instances they are more efficient at pollinating some crops than are honeybees. They are also highly adapted to pollinating wild flowering plants making them [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While it&#8217;s popular to bash seemingly frivolous tax payer funded scientific research, I think most people would agree that a vast majority of research is worth while. There is some really interesting research happening over at the US Department of Agriculture that may have the potential to spill over into the organic gardening area. A [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re back to near normal temperatures after that stretch of unseasonably warm days in late February. Maybe you noticed last week all the honey bees that were out flying. They took advantage of the nice days to make their cleansing flights to defecate outside the hive. Bees avoid passing their digestive waste inside the hive [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While you&#8217;re deciding on what plants to add to your garden and landscape this year, think about pollinator friendly plants. By now most gardeners are aware of the steady decline in the number of pollinators over the past several decades. Bees, butterflies, moths, beetles and other pollinators have all taken a hit. A large percentage [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We know that planting flowering plants will go a long way to help our local honeybees.  They need more than pollen and nectar from flowers however.  Providing a source of clean water will help them thrive. As I was potting up plants the other day, I was reminded how important water is to honeybees.  Bees [&#8230;]]]></description>

About half the blooms are left on this stand of Monarda and there are still plenty of bees visiting it. I took [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Honeybees and their beekeepers all around our area were delighted by the 50F temperatures during the day on New Year&#8217;s Eve. During the winter honeybees are not dormant, various things happen inside the hive depending on what&#8217;s happening with the weather. Consuming honey is the primary activity of bees this time of the year. The [&#8230;]]]></description>

While we were talking she asked me, &#8220;why didn&#8217;t you tell me you had a bee&#8217;s nest near your driveway?&#8221; I answered that I didn&#8217;t know what she was talking about.

		<description><![CDATA[After checking the honeybees this week, I was dismayed at how little honey they had made for themselves this summer. Looking at the number of honey combs that were filled, it became evident to me that probably only a third of the hives would yield enough honey for me to safely harvest. Honeybees collect flower [&#8230;]]]></description>

Opening it up I found just a few bees and very little honey. There was however a serious infestation [&#8230;]]]></description>
