Top 5 Fashion Tips for 2012

5.) Wear Natural Materials!

Not everything you can buy online is going to be good on your skin and good for the environment.  Instead consider buying something made out of cotton when you need something cheaper, and silk when you are looking for an amazing dress.

4.) Buy Things That Suit The Situation!

No One wants to see through your clothes when you go out shopping at Wal-Mart, and I don't think it is appropriate to wear a back cutout dress, which may be cute as hell, when you are at work!  Wear clothes that suit the situation that you are in. Which brings me to the next point.

3.) Wear Things That Suit Your Body!

This point really does not need to be discussed in much detail.  I firmly believe everyone has the right to wear whatever they want, but just know that it might not look good on you.  A bigger girl might want to stay away from certain dresses and skirts, while a guy shouldn't be wearing flip flops everywhere sorta thing.

2.) Hygiene

You might look the part, but it is important that your hair and body odor look and smell the part aswell.  Nothing ruins an outfit more then messed up hair or foul smelling breath. 

1.) Accessorize!

Think about it, in most places it is winter right now.  No one wants to get sick or even just be cold.  Find yourself some nice accessories that you can mix and match with everything. If you need tips to finding the perfect handbag then we suggest checking out this article.

The Friendly Bees

Let's face it, most people only care about bees when they are looking up how to get rid of bees on Google, and this is for good reason.  A lot of species of bees are invasive and aggressive, but it is a sad thing that the European Honeybees are tossed in with the nasty ones like wasps.  The honeybees provide us humans with so many benefits that it is ridiculous!

For example, do you enjoy eating a type of melon on a warm summer day.  Maybe, you like sitting out on your porch with a slice of watermelon with your feet kicked up in the air.  It sounds pretty relaxing right? Well, if all the bees were to disappear tomorrow, then there would be no watermelon or any other type of melon for you to enjoy.  Honeybees are responsible for pollinating 80% of commercial melon fields!\

They fly around from flower to flower getting covered in pollen while trying to take nectar from deep in the flower.  Since they visit multiple flowers the pollen on their bodies gets deposited in other plants thus leading to pollination! Best of all, they take all the nectar they collect and turn it into honey for us!

That is why it is such a sad thing that the population of honeybees is so threatened by Colony Collapse Disorder, and people rushing to kill their hives whenever they spring up in their back yards.  Please, help save the population of the Honeybee by only performing live removals of their hives!

Free Live Removal

Sometimes it is necessary to remove a hive of bees from your back yard.  This can be an extremely dangerous task for anyone who is untrained.  Professional exterminators can cost an arm and a leg so for some people that is not an option.  They are forced to take care of this dangerous task all by themselves.  Thankfully there are a few options for people with honey bee hives!

Due to the ever decreasing numbers of honeybee colonies due to Colony Collapse Disorder. A lot of beekeepers are always looking for a source of free beehives.  There are a lot different ways to find a nearby beekeeper that will be willing to do this dangerous process for you for free.

The best way would be simply to call nearby beekeepers and ask them if they are looking for a new beehive.  Most will be willing to travel to your backyard to take your hive off your hands.  On the other hand, you might try sending out a few emails or posting a message on Craigslist!  There are plenty of bee removal tips here and a step by step guide located here.

The Parasitic Fly

Colony Collapse Disorder has been a problem in the United States for more then a few years now, but scientists seemed to be at a lose as to what was the cause behind this mysterious disorder.  Everyone seemed to jump on the bandwagon and used it as a platform to try and draw attention to their personal issues.

The result was everyone was claiming something else, but it was all an attempt to draw attention to the cause they cared about.  They could careless what the real cause behind Colony Collapse Disorder was. For example, a group that is known for their anti-pesticides stance attempted to convice people that pesticides were the reason behind Colony Collapse Disorder!  The same goes for pollution, radio interference, global warming, and even light pollution was blamed.

Colony Collapse Disorder became a joke to the media, and there was a real shortage of money to actually do any research on the subject.  It has reached the point, in recent years, that beekeepers were throwing in the towel.  They were sick of constantly replacing lost hives!

Finally, it was discovered that the likely culprit behind is terrible affliction was a Parasitic fly that was laying its eggs in the abdomen's of bees.  These larva would drive the worker bees insane.  They would walk around in circles for hours before finally flying off never to return!
