So why all this trivia about bees?? To raise awareness about them and how we can help them...Did you know that the honey-bee population in the West has declined more than 25% in the past year? A phenomenon called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) is one of the cause of the losses and no one knows exactly what causes CCD. In 35 states across America and all over the world, honey bees have been abandoning their hives and dying. Honey-bees pollinate more than 100 different crops from fruits to vegetables to nuts and seeds. So how can we help? Start a garden with bee-friendly plants in your backyard. Lavender, glory bushes, rosemary, violets and sunflowers are just some of the plants and flowers that attract honey bees. Please visit helpthehoneybees.com for more ideas on how to help!

He who plants a tree
Plants hope.~Lucy Larcom, "Plant a Tree"
For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.~Martin Luther
