About this ebook
Full of fun facts, Mingo shares a potpourri of bee and bee-keeping trivia; practical tips and legend and lore. And here are just some of the reasons bees make the best pets:
- They don’t bark and whine all night if you leave them in the backyard. In fact, they rather prefer it.
- Bees don’t demand petting, attention, or a food dish. They find their own food.
- Bees greet you with honey for your toast and beeswax for your candles, not dead mice.
- You will never be tempted to succumb to your worst self, dress your bees in funny costumes, and humiliate them on YouTube.
- When bees pay attention to your plants, it's not to dig them up. They actually help them blossom, bear fruit, and thrive.
- Bees don’t track mud, poison ivy, or fleas into your house.
- Bees don’t have kittens.
