Pollination
and Our Food Supply
Many
of our native insect pollinators are disappearing - victims of
pesticides, habitat destruction, and mono-culture farming methods. That
means much lower crop yields for food crops such as melons, cucumbers,
squash, pumpkins, peppers, beans, tomatoes, all fruit trees, berries, and
feed crops such as clover, alfalfa and buckwheat.
Honeybees are efficient pollinators,
and since they are also easily handled and transported, can be a very
cost-effective way to dramatically increase crop yield. Our pollination
business is as scalable as your operation requires. We can supply two
hives, or two hundred. Arnold Honeybee Services can travel
anywhere in the Southeast. Email
us for details and pricing.
If you’d rather purchase than lease, we also sell
complete hives.
