There is mention about cows, sheep, chickens and even "Gloucestershire Old Spot" pigs, but what about honeybees? For virtually all fruit bearing crops, bees are needed to ensure fertilization of the ovules, better known as pollination. Without bees, no fruit or seeds. I hope Ms. Hurley will include honeybees as part of her farming adventure! Best regards, Paul van Westendorp Provincial Apiculturist British Columbia Canada Wonderful idea to go into organic farming.
