Helpful Tips from a local scout
Hi,
Hope you had a great Fourth of July weekend! My son Noah and I just wanted to get in touch because you've been such an awesome help with his "Gardening" merit badge for Boy Scouts! For this badge, scouts learn about gardening safely, how to plant flowers and vegetables, seed germination, pollination, and various gardening methods. Your page, https://nibainfo.org/links gave him some really useful information and sites to learn about bees from. It's always such a blessing to be able to find such great sites to help out with his badges... Thanks so much from the both of us!!
Noah also had the wonderful idea of passing along another helpful resource to you he thought might make a good addition to your page! It's https://www.avasflowers.net/why-bees-and-pollination-are-so-important and it's all about why bees and pollination is so important! He thought this was a great suggestion because it covered how pollen helps plants, how bees use pollen, bees and agriculture, beekeeping history, the modern decline in bee populations and additional resources to further research.
Would you mind adding Noah's suggestion to your page if it's not too much trouble? I'd absolutely love to show him that his suggestion was up and running to help others learn the importance of our pollinators if you've decided it was a fitting addition! I believe he would be beyond proud to know he's made a helpful contribution... Plus I'm sure he would be thrilled to show his troop during their next meet up, haha! :)
Please let us know what you think if you have the time!
Thanks so much again and have a lovely summer,
Noah and Michelle Bass

Hello Fellow Beekeepers! I hope you all had the opportunity to order all of the packages and nucs you needed through our club.
