Just read the most amazing story of the day. Disney World in Orlando, Florida take apart the gingerbread houses they make and have on display. And guess what they do with the sweets? They feed them to honey bees on their tree farm. How cool is that! This has been going on for over a decade. First time I have read about it. I know the bees enjoy this nice treat. So happy to read the bees are being fed in Florida. Maybe the idea will spread to other places. I had a ton of bees in my garden last year. I also have been reading about a decline in honey bees in the last few years. This feeding idea is excellent news to read.

@CarolDM I was watching a fan post on YouTube and they said that there are some big changes for Disney as the new guy starts to work

Thank you for sharing the link. We also have bees at our rural home but they are very dangerous. We never come close to their habitat

They are doing a good thing. . Bees are disappearing at an alarming rate. I don’t know when I’ve seen a bee. We should do everything possible to help bees survive. We’d have no food without bees.

@CarolDM I would hope that everyone who has a yard would plant flowers and other growth that attracts bees.

But in the world we need bees to pollinate and make honey. Beekeepers take care of them.

There are a lot of good ideas out there for helping all the pollinators, especially the bees. I have heard of tacking pieces of fruit in trees and also have read you should make little islands in your birdbath out of stones so bees do not drown but can rest safely and drink.
