Do you want to start keeping bees? Or would you rather just eat local honey and support local bee colonies from afar? It's National Pollinator Awareness Week and we'll hear from local beekeepers and educators about how to keep honey flowing and flowers pollinated.
We'd like to hear from you! Email callinshow@kunm.org, post your comments online, or call in live during the show!
