This matters.

Let’s cut the bull and cut to the chase as there’s way too much confusion/misinformation out there which is a hinderance to, and detrimental to, genuine bee saving.

Aside from adding flowers, to help native bees, people can:

Far from it.
Many beekeepers follow us and agree with our messaging.
We are not anti beekeeping.
