Believe it or not what you do or don't affects the bees!  What you can do to help the bees: Plant seeds: planting seeds of important food sources increases the number of flowers and thus increasing the amount of pollen the bees have to collect. Not all plants are useful for the pollinators.  Please check for lists of beneficial sources. Pesticides, herbicides...please limit their use and follow guidelines if you must use.  Many endanger our planet and all in it.  Please learn to use natural and alternative practices that are safe.  We strive to do the same.  As other companies, Busy Bee Apiary asks you to:                    REDUCE, REUSE, and RECYCLE We also encourage people to save the rainforest. visit this page to see some tips on how to do so http://www.savetherainforest.org/savetherainforest_002.htm
