New Yahoo group for Bee Rescue Hotline calls!
The Backwards Beekeepers Bee Rescue Hotline is getting busier every season, so they established a new Yahoo group called LA Bee Rescue.

We at HoneyLove believe that the city is the last refuge of the honeybee. Our home gardens are generally free of pesticides, and in cities like Los Angeles, there is year-round availability of pollen and nectar for the honeybees! 
Become a member of HoneyLove and learn to be an urban beekeeper!
Plant an organic garden without the pesticides that harm honeybees!
Provide a water source on your property – bees love clean water to drink!
