We cannot be hobby beekeepers without them as they provide the bee root-stock that gives us bees. And honey. Oh, and high yields that keep food prices low.
It was an awesome time, hopefully more experience to come! Here is the vid.

We Get To Tag Along With A Commercial Beekeeper-VIDEO
Jerry Mattiaccio, of Rock Hill Honeybee Farms, was kind enough to invite me to join him on a pollination run to southern Virginia to visit and feed some hives on pumpkins.
Jerry could not resist describing me as a "city boy" as I wondered out-loud how many tanks of gas it took to get to his hives. But it was an excellent learning experience, and a window onto the backbone of the bee industry, the pollinator.
