HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — According to Gary Carns, president of the Capital Area Beekeepers Association and an eighth generation beekeeper, two thirds of our food we eat are pollenated by honeybees.
That’s why keeping beehives healthy and productive is important. At Strites’ Orchard, members of the Capital Area Beekeepers Association are working on their queen improvement program, using larval queen bees (bred by Carns in this case) to replace older queens in their hives.
