At a small farm in Boyd, Texas, Ritchie and I have been beekeepers since 1999. Our company Bee Charmer and sister company DFW Bee Chamer remove live honeybee nests and relocate hives into wooden beehive boxes. Our beehives are located in our front yard and backyard. They are surrounded by our garden of basil, spearmint, and aromatic flowers of herbs and vegetables. I, Christine, teach honeybee classes on our little stamp of land of 6 acres. Classes are even provide to the very young. We find that many home school children love this field trip. Honeybees are important to our environment? Did you know that one out of three bites of food are pollinated by the honeybees? Did you know, only the eggplant can be pollinated by honeybees? Beeswax is used for furniture, polish, for rain retardant, and is used in soaps, lotions, and makeup. Propolis is made by the honeybee and is used as a glue for their combs. It can even be used for health benefits. Their pollen can also be used for health benefits as well. Honey is used as a sweetener for cereals, desserts, not to mention, used for health benefits!
