Bee Counting
A very interesting web site came across my path while checking my email the other day. www.yourgardenshow.com
is calling all gardeners to participate in an attempt to count bees! The idea of the count is to shed some light on our current bee crisis and find out why our nation’s most important pollinator is disappearing. If you go to the web site, sign up for the Great Sunflower Project. There are already 100,000 members who are helping to create bee conservation efforts by planting bee-friendly plants and counting the bees that visit that flower for 15 minutes each week this summer and beyond. Most of us are familiar with Facebook.com, a web site for social interaction. Your Garden Show .com is a social network for gardeners! Since WNF&GA has had an ongoing interest in bees, I thought that our membership would be interested in counting bees!
Don’t get stung!
