Harvest Foods Inc. is running a beekeeping circle program that encourages people to create bee sanctuaries on their properties.
Here are the key points of the program:
Create a bee sanctuary:
Participants are encouraged to plant a 10×10 feet area of native flowers on their property to provide a habitat for bees.
Become a beekeeper (of a sort):
While participants won’t be directly managing beehives, they will be helping to create a welcoming environment for bees.
Flower Award:
Harvest Foods Inc. will award a plaque to the participant who creates the most bee-friendly flower garden at the end of the year.
The winning garden will also be photographed.
Recognition for helping bees:
All participants will be recognized for their efforts in helping to create bee sanctuaries in the local area.
This program is a great way to get involved in helping the bee population and to learn more about native plants.
If you’re interested in participating, you can contact Harvest Foods Inc. for more information.
Here are some additional details that are not explicitly mentioned in the text, but are generally relevant to beekeeping circles:
Benefits of bee sanctuaries:
Bee sanctuaries provide food and shelter for bees, which are essential for pollinating plants.
Pollination is critical for the production of fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
Choosing native plants:
Native plants are best for bee sanctuaries because they are adapted to the local climate and soil conditions, and they provide the best source of food for native bees.
Other ways to help bees:
In addition to creating a bee sanctuary, there are other things you can do to help bees, such as avoiding pesticides and herbicides, and providing nesting sites for solitary bees.
