What's happening to our bees?!!

I think you would agree, that we are a nation that is addicted to "pesticides & pills" of all sorts. In the past several years, we have seen a tremendous decrease in our National Honeybee population. Much research has been done in order to determine why this is happening. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out some possible causes; maybe we use too many HARSH PESTICIDES in our local environment, and that it might have an adverse affect on such beneficial insects like the Honey Bee. I may not be able to control where the honey bee goes to forage for nectar and pollen, but I can control what I put in their hives for pest management issues. Through much research and study of our own, we have learned how to use only Essential Oils on the bees to keep them healthy. After nearly 17 years of hard work, we are happy to share our oil strategies with other serious Beekeepers, in order to protect our Honey Bee population.

So, if your seriously interested in keeping bees, have you thought about how to keep them healthy? Little Creek Bee Ranch is teaching a class on how to keep Honey Bees healthy, by using Essential Oils. We've kept bees on Essential Oils for nearly 10 years now. This is a little known skill. Once you learn how to use only Essential Oils, you won't want to use traditional pesticides on your bees anymore!

What's Essential Oils? Canola oil, Spearmint oil, Lemongrass oil, Wintergreen oil, Tea Tree oil, etc. When these oils are used, sometimes in combination with each other, you're able to kill out the Pests that the Honey Bee often battle. i.e., Small Hive Beetle, Varroa Mite and Tracheal Mite. These pests can be devastating to the colony. Many beekeepers lose colonies and never know WHY they lost them. Learn how to help your bees KNOCK OUT these pests the easy way. I refuse to use HARSH PESTICIDES on my bees. I don't need to do it that way anymore.

If you're interested in attending our Essential Oils class, contact us soon for further details. I will give you all of my recipes and resources and detailed instruction. Get your name on the list ASAP!

It is suggested that you have already taken a Basic Bee class from a nearby bee club, or that you have already kept bees for more than 1 year, before attending this class. This is considered an Advanced Beekeeping class, and covers subjects related to the Bees health. Hope to hear from you soon. I think you'll really like what you hear!! Others have!
