September is National Honey Month, which aims to promote beekeeping in the U.S. and celebrates the end of the honey collection season.
We visited legendary economist Gary Shilling, who is a recreational beekeeper and has an apiary in the back yard of his New Jersey home, last year and he told us all about the challenges and benefits of beekeeping.
