Happy World Bee Day.
Bee the change you want to see in the world.

WORLD BEE DAY - 20th May

Bees (Clade Anthophila): One out of every three bites of food we eat is a result of Pollinators like Honey Bees (genus Apis).

Crops like blueberries and cherries are 90 per cent dependent on pollination. Honey bees are so important that farmers often have bee hives transported and then placed on their farm to provide pollination for their crops.

If you look at the plate of food on your dinner table, bees have played their part either pollinating the many vegetables and fruits we eat directly, or pollinating the food for the animals that we then consume. And that’s not all bees do for us - honey and wax are two other important products that come courtesy of bees, but honey bees are disappearing globally at an alarming rate due to pesticides, parasites, disease, habitat and Biodiversity loss. If these little insects that help provide so much of the food we eat were to vanish, what would we do without them?

Lots of honey bees lose their way at times, possibly due to the mobile network towers but research is ongoing. If you find a tired bee struggling the simplest thing you could do is put tired bees onto flowers, where they may be able to find nectar which, unlike sugar solution, contains nutrients they need. In a matter of a few minutes the bee will sip it up and fly back. Try it..!!

Planting locally native flowering Plants around your home or garden if you have one helps provide forage for bees and pollinators..

We have to put education back into context. Back into life where it can be nourished, supported - where children can understand and feel what they are connected to. ⁣

When we don't know what context we're in, when we don't have soil to root to, it's so difficult to locate ourselves in the world, to feel a part of something greater, and to ultimately find our purpose within that ecosystem. 🕸🌱 ~ Nicolette Sowder

Handmade Nature Play alphabet wooden sets ♡Eucalyptus♡

~Every tree being is unique
Each wooden round speaks
And every mark tells a story
Of how the tree being grows to be~

A Eucalyptus tree had shed some of its branches after the rain along the Meroo River. Gratitude to this gum tree in allowing it to be turned into sensory loose parts for children to explore and play.
