Why are Honey Bees Important?
“Honey Bees are honored for the intense Labor they Devote for the good of mankind.”
BEE POLLINATION FEEDS THE WORLD POPULATION
Seventy out of the top 100 human food crops require bee pollination services. These crops supply about 90 percent of the world’s nutrition value in our diets. All these crops need to be pollinated by bees, and have quality queen bees to maintain their bee colony. A single bee colony can pollinate 300 million flowers each day and produce natural honey at the same time. Some of the crops that are pollinated are cucumbers, almonds, carrot seed, melons, apricots, cherries, pears, apples, prunes, plums, alfalfa seed, cantaloupe, onion seed, avocados, blueberries, cranberries, and many more. Organic honey is the only food source that includes all the substances necessary to sustain life, which includes enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and water.

HONEY BEE PROTECTION
SULLIVANCARE™ protects your bees from harmful bee viruses, bee colony bacterial infestations, and beehive parasite diseases which can cause bee colony collapse or poor honey production. Honey bees are ingesting everything they come in contact during their pollination activities throughout the day. Bee pollination activities happen in their surrounding ecosystem and atmosphere which has increasing numbers of pesticides present, and harmful bee diseases that can cause bee colony collapse. All these harmful substances will end up in the beehives ecosystem. Our SULLIVANCARE™ product stops the spread of these debilitating threats to the entire bee colony.
