The honey bee population has been dwindling over the years. Here are a few ways you can help save the bees:
- Plant bee-friendly plants, flowers, and food
- Avoid using chemicals in the garden
- Support local farms
- Buy local honey (not grocery stores - I'm talking farms and locals with bees!)
- Make a bee hotel for your yard (this looks fun and easy to do)
