Gone to the Bees

I'm so excited to share this blog post from Willowtail Springs Nature Preserve and Education Center on our recent studies of Pollination, Pollinators and specifically Honey Bees!  A beautifully told story complete with bibliography (a great list of articles and books to begin your own studies on bees and honey and our relationships with each other) Written by Merritt Winkler.

Here is a wonderful TED Talk from Marla Spivak on bees, their incredible social structures, their importance in our agriculture, the rates at which they are dying and the wonderfully simple and beautiful ways in which we can help!
