Did you know it’s World Bee Day? Bees are integral to our ecosystem and are also pretty dang cute (ever see a sleepy bumblebee butt hanging out of a flower?). At this time of year, flowers and other plants they use for food are not always in bloom yet, so keep those dandelions. It’s usually the bees first source of food in the spring. I look forward to the hum of honey bees in my crabapple trees every spring, and let me tell you it is loud! Plant a bucket of wildflowers this year, don’t chop all the dandelions, support a local beekeepers by purchasing their honey. Lots of ways to support the bees! Someday I hope to have a hive in a corner of the yard (dreaming of a @flowhive someday), but for now the trees and flowers will do just fine 🐝🌻🍯 * * * * * #worldbeeday #savethebees #supportthebees #BeeEngaged #biodiversity #keepthedandelions #plantsomeflowers https://www.instagram.com/p/CdyklsCJe4j/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
