The presence of bees is necessary for excellent pollination, which, in turn, usually results in abundant fruits and vegetables. Establishing a beehive or two near one' s garden ensures the presence of bees. Keeping bees is economical, however, only if the gardener has a use for homegrown honey. Thus, gardeners who have no use for homegrown honey will tend not to have beehives
their gardens will fail to have excellent pollination.
The argument fails to consider the possibility that obtaining homegrown honey is only one of several advantages of beehives.
