Bee-Aware


These lovely Bee earrings are found on Etsy and are made by KatinkaPinka they are vintage green glass drops with brass bees. Not only are these appropriate to my post today but the profile of the artist revealed to me she is someone who would probably appreciate it as well. As quoted from her profile page, she is the keeper of, "...2 magic bunnies....and a bunch of kitties, 3 pups, some finches and a dove. oh, and chickens, too! but they live outside."


In January I heard an interview on CBC Radio One with Rowan Jacobsen, a journalist, who has been following the bee decline. He is the author of the book, Fruitless Fall: The Collapse of the Honey Bee and the Coming Agricultural Crisis. It gave me that creepy feeling akin to dread as I listened... You can listen here. When are we going to learn to stop messing around with our natural environment? We need to take care RIGHT NOW!


Anthroplogie, the beautiful store in the US, have began an initiative to raise awareness through a few venues.

In an email I recieved,


...and store fronts are used to raise awareness too...




And...

Haagen Dazs are paired up with them to spread the word and to raise funds to Help the Honey Bee. They have designed a gorgeous site that is worth a visit, if you have little ones they will like the site too. I made my own bee...She looks a little like my beautiful niece. Click on the hive to enjoy all this site has to offer while learning about the issues facing the bees and how we can help...



I will be posting on this topic in the future and will be putting some links to bee articles to the right. ->

The bee awareness is necessary, I hope everyone who sees your blog will become informed and concerned...and maybe take some action.

I cook with honey all the time and worry about the decline of the honey bee. It's nice to see that a corporation is making a stand. I'll have to check out Fruitless Fall. Have you read it?
