π Sunday Bee Fact: Strong Hives Need Supportive Environments!
Honey bee colonies usually operate as separate communities, but the world surrounding each hive can make a tremendous difference. People can positively support bees by providing flowering plants, protecting habitat and offering knowledgeable, responsible care.
The same is true for a school. The work within Bonner matters deeply, but our students flourish because a larger community surrounds and supports them. We are grateful for partners such as CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital, our Bonner families, Mr. Lennon and his beekeeping expertise, the Bonner PTA, and Marvin Methodist Church. Each brings unique knowledge, resources and care that strengthen our hive and expand what is possible for our students.
When a community invests in its beesβboth the winged kind and the Bonner kindβthe whole hive grows stronger! πππ
