No more bees' knees...


Or wings, or stripey little bodies. If you hadn't heard, there is a  huge problem of honeybee colony collapse. And without bees' knees bending and sipping that nectar, not only will there be no honey, but there will be no anything that requires pollination to produce. And I truly don't think the answer is to find a way to grow things without pollinators. There is a reason - a PROBLEM - why hives are collapsing and I hope that the people who are hard at work find a solution that saves bees, honey and, in the end, the security of our food supply!

Read about it here. And consider, that this problem is occurring everywhere.  It is happening around the world as shown in the article from Great Britain where the lovely photo above appears....click the link under the photo for more information - particularly the 10 things that children can do to help honeybees (a PDF file).
