Bees are very important !

They pollinate a third of our food. That's right!
One out of every three bites you put in your mouth was pollinated by honeybees. In addition to pollinating crops such as apples, almonds, broccoli strawberries, cucumbers and cotton, bees also pollinate alfalfa seeds which are used for beef and dairy feed.

And let's not forget the honey they make!

Thursday May 20, 2021 is Bee Day!

Have a sweet and awesome day every day!!

Baby plants can be cute too!

Last April we bought a Meyer Lemon tree

and managed to harvest 2 lemons.

This year our tree is loaded with

blossoms and since it is inside still

we have been busy as bees. In other

words we have been the pollinators

armed not with scopas. We have 

to be artistic pollinators armed

with tiny paint brushes.

So far we have well over 15 tiny lemons. 

That will add up to lots on 

lemony delights later on this year! 

Right now we can smell the lemony

fragrance  throughout the house.
