Feedback
Thank you for sharing your previous honey bee program with
me. The motion pictures in the bee hives and at the forage
plants and the interviews were certainly capable of holding
the audience's attention. Congratulations on your work.
I could tell from our conversation that you have a good
grasp of the issues facing agriculture in regard to the
honey bees and other pollinators.
Thank you for your efforts to spread awareness of the
importance of the bees and the problems that they are facing.
The man-made stresses placed on the bees can be lessened
by public awareness of the issues by informed programming.
Thank you,
Richard Underhill, President

Episode Description
- Honey Bees
Sustainable Agriculture - Important Insects
This episode of Feast Or Famine looks into the important contributions
insects provide to our food supply. When most people hear the
words "insects" and "food crops" in the same
sentence, the immediate response is typically "Use pesticides
to get rid of the insects!" But in this episode of Feast
Or Famine, we are going to look at how certain insects that are
introduced to crops act as beneficial substitutes to pesticides.
The best known pollinator and man's best friend among the insects
is the honey bee. Besides the pollinating services it renders,
this insect provides us with honey, which we eat and beeswax which
we use in making candles, polishes, inks and cosmetics. It is
hard to imagine what life would be like without the natural pest
control, flower pollination, and products provided to us by these
beneficial insects.

event is something that beekeepers everywhere are excited
about.
