you courtesy of bees. In recent years, honey bee colonies have been
collapsing at an alarming rate due largely to the fountain of toxic
pesticides being pumped onto our crops. If the bees disappear, say
goodbye to the berries, nuts, avocados, and many other colorful fruits
and vegetables that make up the healthiest parts of our diet.
Starting May 5, we'll be running a Made By Bees Contest with Earthjustice to raise awareness about dwindling bee populations and why they're so important to us!
Earthjustice is a non-profit environmental law organization that is representing beekeepers
in court to reverse the approval of sulfoxaflor, a pesticide highly
toxic to our pollinators. Earthjustice
uses the law to protect honeybees and is bringing attention to this
issue through the Made By Bees Contest. Share your recipes, crafts, and
other projects that wouldn’t be possible without honey bees.
