St. Louis expansion

Hello, World!

On a vacant lot in St. Louis, Mo Hives’ Brian Reeves is placing new hives and populating them with bees from the Kansas City apiaries. His sister and nephew live nearby and are also beekeepers. They’ll keep an eye on the hives, ensuring that the bees are healthy and well cared for. Some of the Nature Action Crew members made the journey from KC with Reeves, assisting with the installation.

And if you aren’t interested in becoming a beekeeper, but want to help the bees? Reeves says you should plant native flowering plants, refrain from using pesticides and herbicides and talk with your neighbors about doing the same.
