Unusual question of the day… Enviromentally sensitive question about bees and horses.?
I have bees in the proximity of my barn/horses. I am aware that honeybees are in trouble, their populations are decreasing and honey bee colonies are collapsing (having read the secret life of bees etc). How can I identify a honeybee from other bees and more importantly, is there an ecologically safe way to keep them away from my barns and horses without pesticides? Thanks for any insight!
Edit to American Morgan – Fantastic links! Thx!
