SOUTHWEST FLORIDA — Bees play a very important role in our everyday lives.
In fact, you can thank the bees for about 1/3 of the food on your table.
One hive can hold about 60,000 to 80,000 bees with one queen that can lay about 1,500 to 2,000 eggs a day.
While SWFL may have one of the largest populations of honeybees, the overall number is drastically dropping.
The Beekeepers Association of Southwest Florida aims to help inform the public about the importance of bees and how to help them.
You can help save the bees by learning more or purchasing the “Save The Bees” license plate!

Right now, honey such as wildflower, mangrove, orange blossom, and sea grape are being created which all have added health benefits for us. ...more
