of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. --Corinthians 13:4-7

The Rural-Urban Record’s WELCOME SPRING SUPPLEMENT | RURAL-URBAN RECORD | MARCH 23, 2015 Page 1
Special Pull-Out Section
Fun Facts about Honey Bees:
• It is the only insect that produces food eaten by man.
• Honey is the only food that includes all the substances necessary to sustain life, including enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and water; and it’s the only
food that contains “pinocembrin”, an antioxidant associated with improved brain functioning.
• Honey bees have 6 legs, 2 compound eyes made up of thousands of tiny lenses (one on each side of the head), 3 simple eyes on the top of the head,
2 pairs of wings, a nectar pouch, and a stomach.
• A honey bee can ?y for up to six miles, and as fast as 15 miles per hour.
• The average worker bee produces about 1/12th teaspoon of honey in her lifetime.
• A hive of bees will ?y 90,000 miles, the equivalent of three orbits around the earth to collect 1 kg of honey.
• It takes one ounce of honey to fuel a bee’s ?ight around the world.
• A honey bee visits 50 to 100 ?owers during a collection trip.
• A colony of bees consists of 20,000-60,000 honeybees and one queen. Worker honey bees are female, live for about 6 weeks and do all the work.
• The queen bee can live up to 5 years and it’s role is to ?ll the hive with eggs, up to 2500 eggs in one day.
• Larger than the worker bees, the male honey bees (also called drones), have no stinger and do no work at all. All they do is mating. In fact, before
winter or when food becomes scarce, female honeybees usually force surviving males out of the nest.
• Only worker bees sting, and only if they feel threatened and they die once they sting. Queens have a stinger, but they don’t leave the hive to help defend it.
• It is estimated that 1100 honey bee stings are required to be fatal.
• Honey bees communicate with one another by dancing.
• During winter, honey bees feed on the honey they collected during the warmer months. They form a tight cluster in their hive to keep the queen
and themselves warm.

Hiring a Lawncare Professional
Many homeowners hire a lawncare professional to tend to their lawns and gardens. FREE
To hire a quality service or individual, homeowners need to do a little homework.
Estimates
* Compare prices. Professional landscapers offer an array of services and, as a 330.231.0125
result, those services vary in cost. Ask neighbors and friends what they pay for routine
maintenance and any other special services. Get recommendations for companies that
do work you admire.
* Interview prospective companies. Set up appointments or price quotes from three
different lawncare services. Compare the offerings and the prices. Ask questions about
whether pricing is “per week” or “per cut.” Determine if services such as edging, blow-
ing away debris, trimming, and clean-up are included.
* Find out about extras. Some services will offer packages for spring and fall clean-
up, and homeowners should inquire about any special offers during the initial compari-
son stage.
* Who does the work? A company may farm out work to other landscapers. Figure
out who will be arriving each week and base decisions accordingly.
