Why is it a problem if the bees work on your veges?

I was wondering exactly the same thing. I'm always happy to see the
bees at work and because of reports of declining population now spend
a lot of time just watching out for where the bees are working to
make sure I have a healthy active population in my garden.

One way to have an active healthy bee population in your garden is
to have a hive or two of your very own . We've wanted to do this for
several years and are now in a place where we can . I'll be picking
ours up established colony , from a local beekeeper at the end of
May after the sustainability weekend beekeeping class . We've seen
bees here , but very few - and we're putting an orchard in this year
. There are other pollinators around , but I like the other benefits
of having bees .

I am lucky, no hive required. I have more than you can shake a stick at.
