PLEASE NOTE: In the autumn of 1995, we hatched the idea for a free, local gardening publication. The following spring, we published the first issue of Michigan Gardener magazine. Advertisers, readers, and distribution sites embraced our vision. Thus began an exciting journey of helping our local gardening community grow and prosper.
After 27 years, nearly 200 issues published, and millions of copies printed, we have decided it is time to end the publication of our Print Magazine and E-Newsletter.

Two British scientists are dumping cold water on campaigns to promote urban beekeeping. They say that trying to “help the bees” by setting out more hives is naive and misguided if the bees can’t find enough flowers nearby to feed on. You’ll just end up with sick and starving bees.

Don’t think this will be a problem in Michigan with all the orchards and farmlands. Also, more people are gardening both flower and vegetable. I had a lot more honey bees on my flowers this year which is a good sign. They really like my butterfly bush.
