Today’s observance is about recognizing honey bees and beekeepers as well as their important place in our world. One way to do this is by encouraging everyone to purchase locally.
“As pollinators, bees play a part in every aspect of the ecosystem. They support the growth of trees, flowers, and other plants, which serve as food and shelter for creatures large and small. Bees contribute to complex, interconnected ecosystems that allow a diverse number of different species to co-exist.”
