Keep bees. Two of the folks who showed up last night to demonstrate support for Chickens in the Yard brought their two darling young daughters and talked about how they were all (including the young girls) having fun keeping honeybees here in Salem -- an outstanding idea. They took a "Beekeeping 101" class at Chemeketa and, for just a few hundred dollars, got the gear and training they needed to get into beekeeping. Not only will they enjoy some home-produced honey, their fruit trees will thrive.
It is impossible to overstate the importance of pollinators like honeybees to humans
No pollinators = no food.
Simple as that.

That's a really neat idea! I'm really glad that the chicken debate has brought so much attention to things you can do for the environment right in your own backyard!
