As spring comes into fruition, flowers bloom, bringing back honey bees. Whether you see these small insects as friends or foes, they are an important part of our ecosystem, helping pollinate plants and producing honey. Clayton Lee, current membership chair of the Missouri State Beekeepers Association, explains what the organization does, and how it helps honey bees.

Lee also explains that if you need a swarm of bees relocated, contacting your local beekeeping club is your best option. They can relocate the bees safely.
