Hello, this is Bee Safe.  We are a blog dedicated to organic gardening in association with suitable environments for pollinators!  This is a journey on the research we've found on safe gardening, maintaining a bee farm, some tutorials on the beekeeping process featuring yours truly, and links to our products.  It should be interesting since we're art school grads new at this whole agriculture thing (but passionate nonetheless).
