Saturday is National Honeybee Awareness Day. Now before you think, why do I need to appreciate or be aware of bees? There are some pretty good reasons. For one - without them. We wouldn't have HoneyMaker wine. Mead is wine made from honey. And more than 15 billion dollars a year in crops are pollinated by bees. Including apples, berries, cucumbers, and alfalfa. Ben Alexander is the owner of Maine Mead Works and he's here to talk about the bees.
