Bee the change! Honeybee Festival and ways to help the bees

Are you ready for some spring? If you’re antsy and need a mini-break, come over to the western slope of Colorado to beautiful Palisade for the International Honeybee Festival next weekend (April 12th). We’ll be there to support their mission to educate and appreciate the vital honeybee. http://ow.ly/jPowF  Anyone for luscious Sunflower & Honey Organic Lotions Bars? http://bit.ly/14PtNiV

According to a recent U.N. report, of the 100 crops that provide 90% of the world’s food, more than 70 are pollinated by bees. http://www.beeguardian.org/ Take action to protect the bees and learn more about what you can do to support the bee movement. Bee the change! Write to the powers that be, fight the good fight in meaningful ways, sign petitions against harmful pesticides. http://ow.ly/jPq5M

Say you care by supporting your local beekeepers by buying honey and beeswax products. Look for organically kept bees if possible, especially those that use top bar hives. Don’t forget to grow your garden in an organic way to help the bees thrive (and your family!).
