      Bee Biology: All About Wings

How many wings does a honey bee have? Many believe honey bees only have 
two wings, but they actually have four! What makes their wings even more 
mysterious and fascinating is that scientists and engineers have 
sometimes struggled to explain exactly how they keep bees airborne.

This article is part of our "bee biology lite" series and digs into the 
biology of honey bee wings.

      Meet the Team: Keith McCormick

In this edition of the worker bee team bio series, we're meeting and 
greeting Keith McCormick, team leader in Betterbee's woodshop for the 
past four years.

He's not really a grumpy old drone, but Keith did take one for the team 
by modeling this newer Betterbee shirt design!

      Do I/Really/ Want to Be a Beekeeper?

Getting into beekeeping is a hard decision and a big responsibility. 
Some people jump right in, and others take a while to commit. One 
thing's for sure: you're more likely to succeed the more knowledge you 
gather beforehand.

In this article, Betterbee's Head Beekeeper and EAS Master Beekeeper, 
Anne Frey, runs through what to consider before buying your first bees. 
It can be overwhelming to know where to start, but she'll help you 
through it!
