This explains how I operate as a non-profit volunteer, with interests in ecology and sustainable business consulting. My hobby is my mission - beekeeping (Consider bees as pets who can provide a backyard source of income!)

Bees are the little hands that feed us. It stands to reason we should honor and respect their pollination services to the biosphere. Part of that responsibility is to make sure bees can continue to help feed people all over the world. I tell people who like to garden, that the same field they now use will produce at least twice as many fruits and vegetables with no fertilizer added if they put one beehive nearby. Imagine what this kind of leverage can do for subsistence farmers to overcome some of the limits of poverty...and what someone like you or I can do to help them help themselves! Putting food on the table is a pretty good way to show we care. So, that's why it makes me feel good to help advance the science of beekeeping, putting those tools to good use where it can do the most good.
