Local beekeeper shares benefits of local bees

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.- Bees are incredibly beneficial to our planet, offering much more than just high-quality honey. They play a crucial role in the food supply chain, supporting both human and animal nutrition through their pollination efforts.

Local beekeeper Eugenia LaRue, owner of Big B Apiaries, emphasizes the extensive benefits of honey, particularly its potential to alleviate allergies.

“It has been shown over centuries that honey can help with allergies if it’s made from the pollen and nectar you’re allergic to,” LaRue explains.

She notes that honey also supports the immune system and can help stave off various diseases. With such valuable contributions, LaRue hopes more people will recognize and appreciate the importance of bees.
