Bees Put Food on the Table…!
Did you know that:
· Native raw honey can help reduce your seasonal allergies?
· US honeybees produce 200 million pounds of honey annually?
· These pollinators ensure production of 15-30% of our food?
· The sale of honey from a single hive can yield $300 or more in income?
· Bee Venom Therapy (controlled bee stings) has been used to treat Arthritis, Tendonitis, Bursitis or Multiple Sclerosis?
