If you protect and enhance the habitat for our native pollinators the honey bees will do
better too.

Plant native plants that will bloom @ different times
Limit the use of insecticides

Have some bare earth that is in @ least 70% sun

Leave some dead trees around the property

plant some flowers between the fruit trees
