The other day I found this buzz buzz boy passed out in my back yard so I decided to lend a helping hand.
I've been a big advocate for bee rights for a long time now. They pollinate our crops and they give us delicious honey packed with vitamin B. Good for the kids, good for the world.
Buying local honey, sourced from native honey bees can be a great way to improve bee population. Even though honey isn't strictly vegan, supporting bee farms provides farmers with more resources to farm more bees! Put it this way - beef is so popular that the world's bovine population has soared. So much, if fact, that their excretions make a sizeable contribution to greenhouse gasses. If we treated bees the same way, our fruit trees would be fuller, our flowers would be brighter, and greenhouse gasses would actually go down!
If you're a farmer, you can help by using bee-friendly pesticides - certain pesticides can be taken from the crops by bees, which results in the entire hive being infected.
And if you see a bee passed out on the ground, mix some sugar and water together and give it to your little bee friend. This will give them some much needed energy! I checked back 10 minutes later and my little buddy was back in the world, pollinating my apples and making honey for his bee children.
The human race would only last another 4 years without bees, so show some appreciation! They pack a nasty sting but they rarely sting unless you're attacking their hive, or unless you tread on them - so remember to wear shoes when walking in the grass!
