The Kiwanis Ohio District Governor was at Tuesday's family meeting inducting new members into the Lima Kiwanis Club and also spoke about her Bee a Hero Project. With the rate at which bees have been dying, she is encouraging clubs and others to create pollinator habitats to allow bees to thrive so they can pollinate our food sources. But it's more than just planting native plants that needs to be done to protect the bees.

LIMA, OH (WLIO) - They were all a buzz at the last Brown Bag Series of the season at the Allen County Children's Garden Tuesday afternoon. It was all about bees—honeybees, to be exact.  Did you know that 80% of food is pollinated by managed honeybees? Honey is the only food that contains all the essential nutrients to sustain life, and one hive can make 20 to 60 pounds of honey per year. There are three types of honey bees: the drone, the worker, and the queen. All are essential parts of a successful hive. As gardeners, we can also support the honey bees.

You won't "bee-lieve" it but it's national honey month and a local expert tells us what all the buzz is about and why bees are disappearing.
