Making the Connection

As we get ready for Thanksgiving, the biggest food holiday of the year, it's a good time to think about the connections between the food we eat, the way it's produced and the great outdoors. This TED talk from Maine focuses on bees as the link that keeps us all fed.

Wisteria Blooming

Sharing a little Florida sunshine as our wisteria blooms. A little worried because I haven't been hearing the buzzing of the bumblebees. Usually they love all the flowers.

Did you know that the US population of bees is down by 40% overall? It's due to Colony Collapse Disorder and scientists think that might be caused by pesticides. Learn more here in this blog post from Slow Food USA and do what you can to help bees. Even if you don't like honey, we still need pollinators - about 30% of our food comes from honeybee pollination. Thank you!
