This World Bee Day I'm thinking about how nature nourishes me. Before I was a beekeeper, I was a gardener. I love how bees and the garden connect me to nature and remind me that we can't control the weather, only respond to it, like the bees. Sunshine, rain, warmth - a little of each is all it takes to make the flowers bloom, and the honeybees make honey.
But not all bees. The garden is full of a diversity of native bees, flies, moths, butterflies, and other pollinators. They all help pollinate the flowers and foods we love. So take a minute to thank a pollinator on World Bee Day, and think about how you can help. Here are some ideas to get you started.
