The Helpers You Don't See
Bees aren't just a honey source. A garden with an active hive nearby can grow 20–50% more food.
Carver's third rule: some of the best help in a garden isn't something you plant, it's something you invite. Bees pollinate before they ever make a drop of honey — the honey's just a bonus on top of the real job.
About Gospel Carver
Seventy years outside in every kind of weather, and a notebook of planting records in his chest pocket going back decades. He moves slowly, but not from age — from attention, and he'll tell you flatly there's a difference. "Starting right" isn't a saying to him. It's the plain habit of never once skipping the boring first step.
