Bee Conscious
My job raises issues consistently that encourages me to be conscious of our environment. My work encourages me to be involved, be responsible for a better planet, a sustainable backyard that broadens its arms into a sustainable world to improve our overall conditions of living a healthier more productive life. Yes..my job enriches me through the key teachings of the steps we must take as individuals to become involved in a global effort to save an ecosystem to sustain life.
Bee conscious is about our friend the bee and his friends. Pollinators...interesting word...humans are pollinators, that is us sista girl, in our ecosystem through our gardening.
Fascinating that we have depleted in our years our one precious valuable resource of our pollinators that create a sustainable ecosystem.
I am a cook, gardener, a creative soul and a person who loves the beauty of the bees, butterflies, moths and hummingbirds. I created a sanctuary for my peaceful joy of the most beautiful butterfly/hummingbird garden when I owned my home. I created a indigenous garden that included plants that would sustain a food source for them to thrive. The sheer delight during the day of when I saw the beauty of the colors of the butterflies dancing with dragonflies, moths and hummingbirds brought such joy and peace to my day. A loving gift..
A tribute to our friends that help us to enjoy the simple rewards of their loving fruit of labor.
