The Wampanoag People were the first to greet the Pilgrims and celebrate the harvest collectively in what we refer to today as Thanksgiving. In this special series called The Neonicotinoid View Radio Show, hosts, June Stoyer and Tom Theobald will be joined by several beekeepers including Steve Ellis, secretary of the National Honeybee Advisory Board (NHAB), Miles Mcgaughey, President of the Boulder County Beekeepers’ Association, Don Studinski, Chairman of The Pesticide Committee of The Colorado State Beekeepers’ Association and Environmental Author and Honeybee Advocate, Graham White. In this special holiday segment we will take a look at the Thanksgiving fare as it would be with and without the honeybee.

Concerned About Unfriendly GMO’s? Try Friendly Aquaponics!
When you consider the fact that the USA produces some of the best organic food in the world, it makes absolutely no sense that we continue to import these foods during peak season. As the demand increases for locally grown organic foods, more people are constructing aquaponics models of all sizes to grow their own food. It is not only healthier and more economic but enables people to stop contributing to the monoculture environments that industrial agriculture thrives in which has been producing nothing more than low quality, chemical laden foods.
