That way, there will be more bees to polinate on the flowers and more honey will come and there will be a larger bee population. Another way to help the colony is to buy your groceries from any local AND organic farm. This helps by being pesticide free so the bees don't die and it also is good for having healthy chemical free vegetables. <BR/><BR/>sugar.lemon93Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8023190367984433804.post-38637304175428502852008-06-21T20:29:00.000-07:002008-06-21T20:29:00.000-07:00Has no one found a BEE fact yet?
