Madison is Wisconsins state capital and second largest city.
Bees pollinate a wide variety of flowers, including fruit-bearing plants.
Whats the buzz on honeybees?
These pollinators are key to our food supply. Bees fly
from plant to plant for nectar . In the process, they spread
pollen and fertilize the flowering parts of plants. This allows
the plant to produce seeds, fruits, or vegetables.

Many of the foods we eatfrom almonds to applesneed
bees for pollination. Without the work of bees and other
pollinators, the stalls at farmers markets and the shelves at
grocery stores would look very different and very colorless.

years. Beekeepers manage hives to collect beeswax, bee
pollen, and honey.
In different times and places, these bee by-products
served different purposes. Ancient people sealed and
waterproofed pottery with beeswax. The wax was also used
to make tools, cosmetics, and medicine. Today, many people
take bee pollen to help manage seasonal allergies. And of
course, honey has been used for millennia as a sweetener.

Honey of the Pharaohs
Did you know that honey never goes bad?
In 2015, archaeologists unearthed a 3,000-year-old honey pot
in an ancient Egyptian tomb. Amazingly enough, the honey in
the pot was still edible! This is the worlds oldest known sample
of the sweet stuff. It shows that honey was enjoyed by the an
cients just as it is today.

H ow exactly do you become a beekeeper?
For Nathan, the path wasnt direct. As a child, he enjoyed
nature. He participated in Scouts and went camping. But did
he see himself growing up to be a beekeeper or having an
outdoorsy career? No. He actually wanted to be an
astronaut. And when he grew up, he became a graphic
designer.

closer to his food source. He became interested in

What are the pros and cons of keeping backyard chickens?
Not all towns allow residents to host bees on their property.
If allowed, the city government has a law that outlines the
rules for managing hives. People who want to raise bees need
to apply for a license and agree to those rules.

In the months leading up to this vote, Nathan began a

willing Madison residents. Nathan would care for these hives
like a landscaper tends lawns, and collect the honey and wax
to turn into products.
