TownScientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing — Colonies surged 15-fold
WashedupcynicThe solution is so simple. Crop/pollen diversity. Instead of letting fields lay fallow for crop rotation, they could plant diverse wildflower meadows to improve quality of bee health for the traveling bees that get shipped around for crop rotation. Or the bee keepers themselves that sell the services of their bees, could ensure diverse flower and pollen options when their bees aren’t traveling.
redlemaceWorks for me. I only mow early spring and early autumn. During spring and summer the yard runs on it’s own. Every year is different. Each year it looks different. Every year honey tast little different. But … that is how it’s supposed to be!
“brands” hate that, taste must be 100% predictable year to year. Just like wine. Grapes are different each year too. Imagine the amount of additives required to adjust (read that as ruin) the original flavor.
