Honey Bees

In our young, sunny forests, it’s not just the baby trees we plant that grow. Wildflowers and berry bushes also thrive here, making this forest a great food source for pollinators like honeybees. Incredibly, it takes the nectar of about 2 million flowers to make 1 pound of honey, according to this NASA article. In addition to wild bees, beekeepers ranging from hobbyists to industrial honey producers place their hives on our land.
