Improve forage and nutrition

Improving forage and nutrition is a fundamental approach to enhance honey bee health and potentially reduce susceptibility to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Providing diverse and abundant nectar and pollen sources ensures bees receive balanced nutrition, strengthening their immune systems and overall vitality. Planting bee-friendly forage and minimizing nutritional stress in the apiary environment are key aspects of this strategy. This is a DIY approach and involves variable costs depending on the scale of forage planting. Gardening tools and seeds are needed for planting bee-friendly plants.
