The Pollinators

If you’ve been following the rapid decline of bee populations in America, you are probably a wee bit alarmed. I’m definitely concerned. We would have a hard time growing food, were it not for these humble pollinators.

So, there is a movie I suggest you watch. I know I plan to be at this event on November 6th at 6:30.

Just in case you were worrying that this movie will be another depressing look at how we have permanently damaged our planet, don’t be.

I’ve not seen it, but from what I’m told, there is just as much in this movie that will empower you to help the pollinators through simple actions every day.

If you own a home, you can play a huge role in helping reverse the rapid bee population decline. You can help in two ways. First, you can plant flowers that are friendly to the common honey bee.

Second, you can do things that will support native bee populations, which could be increasingly important to our food supply if the common honey bee does not rebound.

I’m already looking at ways to build space for native Arizona bees in my back yard, with the help of my entomologist friend.

Look for videos on that soon.

Anyway, be sure to order your ticket right away if you are interested. This will probably fill up, as there is only one showing in the whole valley. Here is the link you will need.
