When people think of agriculture, bees may be the very last thing that comes to mind. However, bees are very important in the state of Georgia. According to the Georgia Department of Agriculture, about one third of our food is directly related to the pollination of insects, one hundred of these crops being pollinated by bees (Georgia Department of Agriculture, 2014). Most southern bee keepers do not make a living off of their bee hives. They tend to only obtain a few for various reasons. If a bee farmer wants to sell his or her honey, they do not have to have a license to sell in their farmers markets, fairs, own homes, and own businesses. Yet, they must be producing in a sanitary environment. Honey bees can be found in the flowers around my house.
