DID YOU KNOW NOT ALL BEES CAN STING?
We are pollinators too!

Out of the 100 crop species that provide us with 90% of our food, 35% are pollinated by bees, birds and bats (source). It’s that simple.
The intense use of pesticides, known as neonicotinoids (a relatively new class of insecticides that affect the central nervous system of insects, (butterflies & other pollinators) resulting in paralysis and death. These chemicals effect us too!

Insecticides on your manacured lawn are killing..everything.
Birds feed their young insects.
PLANT TREES!
Oaks, support 534 species of lepidoptera (butterfly and moth) caterpillars– more than any other native tree or plant. These caterpillars are not only the primary food source for migrating and breeding birds, but are essential food for baby birds. Other native plants support caterpillars, too, but non-native plants host very few at all.
Trees are the longest living organisms on Earth, and never die of old age. The oldest dated is Methuselah, from California’s White Mountains, comes in at over 4,800 years old.
Each day, an estimated 6,000 acres of open space are converted to other uses in the U.S. Expanding urban and suburban areas often result in a loss of forests, grasslands, and other natural areas.
Unbelievably, more than 200,000 acres of rainforest are burned every day. That is more than 150 acres lost every minute of every day, and 78 million acres lost every year! More than 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest is already gone, and much more is severely threatened as the destruction continues. According to the Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE), satellite data has shown an 84 per cent increase in fires compared to the same period in 2018. The space agency reports its satellite data has detected more than 72,000 fires since January 2019.

Pesticides are poisons and, unfortunately, they can harm more than just the “pests” at which they are targeted. They are toxic, and exposure to pesticides can cause a number of health effects. They are linked to a range of serious illnesses and diseases from respiratory problems, reproductive, neurological and cancer. Long term effects are still not known and evidence of it affecting DNA that is passed down thru generations, mutating genes for years to come.
