This has helped with pollination efforts at the farm. It has also <br />helped inspire and educate several farmers -in- training to become beekeepers and learn <br />the skills they need to successfully keep bees as part of their farming operations. Lomax <br />Farm continues to serve as a place for citizens to raise bees when doing so at home isn't <br />an option. The Lomax Center hopes to offer more structured opportunities for the <br />public to learn more about bees, raising them and the challenges bees face today. <br />• Pollinators helping to assist with vegetable production <br />• Six beneficial habitats <br />under development at <br />Lomax Farm <br />• Official partner with <br />North Carolina <br />Wildlife Federation's <br />Butterfly Highway <br />Initiative <br />• http: / /www.cabarrusbees.com/ <br />34 <br />G -6 Page 206 <br />
