    Very brief summation of a study verifying the importance of diverse pollen sources to support healthy honey bees. Bees in industrial pollination outfits suffer from a extreme lack of diversity in pollen sourcing, since they are put down on single crops for long periods. It would be similar to a human eating just one kind of food for long periods and missing many micronutrients. This was posted on the TreatmentFree FB site, which I encourage all of you to take a look at for the range of good conversations and educational content. Susan

About susan rudnicki

Been beekeeping almost 5 years now. Have 27 hives,(2 client hives) I work with the City of Manhattan Beach, re-homing bees in conflict with citizens. Allowed to keep bees at the Public Works yard (19 hives) in exchange for this work. I do many presentations for HoneyLove, teach bee students, rescue bees and sell honey.
