Honeybees aren't the only insects pollinating our food crops
 |
| The squash flower is pollinated not by honeybees but by native squash bees. |
But are we missing an important aspect about sustainability by focusing our concern on only honeybees?
Marshall Hinsley argues that honeybees are part of industrialized agriculture and that by emphasizing their condition, we may miss something more important.
Read up on why native bees deserve more respect and consideration in this installment of the Farmer Diaries.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI run a video production company (www.youandyoursproductions.com) and am starting a series of documentaries that focus on stories in and around Fort Worth, TX. One area I am definitely interested in is self-sustainable living and I was hoping you could help me find someone who lives by these principles within the city. I would love to show what it takes to adopt this lifestyle, especially in this part of Texas. Any information you feel could help is greatly appreciated. I think self reliability is an important way of living that is unfortunately overlooked far too often.
Thanks so much,
Colby
