What did bees do before beekeepers? Looking for a logical answer to what seemed a simple question, Christy Hemenway launched an investigation of her own into what, or more likely who, might be behind the growing problems with honeybees. She came to the conclusion that with bees, “less” may actually be “more”, as in: less human interference means more health for the honeybee. And in that discover,the importance of bees to human health, the health of the planet and to all of nature becomes quite clear!
Passionate about the connection between bees, our food system, and our own well being, Christy encourages people to think outside the box and reminds us, in the words of John Muir, that “when one tugs at a single thing in nature, one finds it attached to the rest of the world.”
