Great article - I have always suspected the industrial model of beekeeping to be the culprit. When I was in high school, I worked with a local beekeeper one summer "robbing the bee hives". He had over 30 bee yards throughout York and Lancaster SC co…

Isn't it amazing the havoc we can wreak when we think we know more than nature? When will we ever learn? Thanks so much for posting this article.

What an amazing documentary this was. Every gardener should see this. And to top off the evening, HAWK provided hosts plants for sale and they were gone in a matter of minutes. Thank you to Carol for the movie and Frank and Dee for processing the pl…
Habitat and Wildlife Keepers is committed to preserving, protecting and restoring wildlife habitat in the SE area of the Charlotte Metro area. We meet the first Tuesday of each month (Sept-May) at 7pm at the Matthews Community Center.

- Bonnie, you are right....no stupid questions! I recommend doing a blog post on your page because we have a blog feed on the front page so your post will show up on the front page. Another thing to consider is adding a picture of some kind (click on the icon that looks like a camera when you are blogging) so that it grabs ppl's attention and let's them know what the posting is about at a glance. Let me know if you have any questions about the posting process.
