I am an organic farmer in Orkney. Why should I bother about bees? We have the great yellow bumblebee all over the farm, and none of our crops require pollenation by honeybees, I think.Nevertheless, I am being persuaded to keep honey bees on the farm by ' guess who?' .They are the nice varroa-free dark bees; but, still, what's in it for me? This is not meant as just a personal point, as my arm is already well- twisted, but to justify my submission to others.
