Honey Bees Are Important Pollinators

Historical September–October 2019 article. Dates, prices, services and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

Approximately one-third of all the food Americans eat is directly or indirectly derived from honey bee pollination.

If you see a swarm of bees, they are not being aggressive, they are just looking for a new place to live. For removal of a bee swarm that is safe for both people and the bees – please refer to the list of beekeepers that will remove a swarm of bees for no charge from the Eastern Missouri Beekeepers Association website: https://easternmobeekeepers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/EMBA-SWARM_BUILDING-REMOVAL-LIST-2019.pdf.
