- Pollination plays a crucial role in the agricultural landscape of the United States, with 75% of the fruits, vegetables, and nuts grown in the country relying on this process. Among the essential pollinators are honey bees, which have been around for over 100 million years, demonstrating their remarkable resilience and adaptability. These small but mighty creatures possess an impressive ability to carry up to 35% of their bodyweight in pollen, efficiently transferring it from flower to flower as they forage. In their quest for nectar, honey bees diligently visit approximately 2 million flowers to produce just a pound of honey, highlighting their industrious nature. Not only does honey provide us with a delightful natural sweetener, but it also offers remarkable health benefits. With its antibacterial, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties, honey has been cherished for centuries as a healing substance. Through their diligent pollination efforts and the creation of this golden elixir, honey bees contribute to the well-being of both ecosystems and humans alike.
- DeSoto Bee Company fully recognizes the significance of honey bees, and it is at the core of our mission to foster the development of thriving bee colonies. We understand the vital role honey bees play in pollination and the overall health of ecosystems. With this understanding, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing environment and expert care to ensure the growth of healthy hives under our stewardship.
- Furthermore, we are aware of the numerous exceptional uses of raw honey and aim to offer a top-quality product to our customers. From its natural sweetness to its medicinal properties, we believe that raw honey should be enjoyed in its purest form. With meticulous attention to detail, we strive to harvest and package our honey to maintain its integrity, preserving its unique flavors and beneficial characteristics.
- In addition to our commitment to honey production, we extend our support to fellow beekeepers by offering queens with robust genetic health. By providing carefully selected and bred queens, we aim to contribute to the expansion and strengthening of bee populations across the region. We believe that healthy genetics are fundamental to building resilient and thriving hives, and we are dedicated to sharing our expertise and resources with other beekeepers to support their efforts in hive growth and preservation.
- At DeSoto Bee Company, we are driven by our passion for honey bees and the profound impact they have on our environment and well-being. Through our holistic approach to beekeeping, we strive to make a positive difference, both in the world of beekeeping and in the lives of those who appreciate the incredible gifts that honey bees provide.
