I have always had a special thing for bees. My Dad was a wonderful bee keeper and he taught me the importance of bees and how they are underappreciated. In the last few years there have been so many issues with the collapse of bee colonies. This has been reported all over the world and made me think that this year I would help the world's bee population by creating a special art piece that would raise funds.

From Uganda to El Salvador, bees from Heifer International help struggling families earn income through the sale of honey, beeswax and pollen. Beehives require almost no space and, once established, are inexpensive to maintain.
As bees search for nectar, they pollinate plants. Placed strategically, beehives can as much as double some fruit and vegetable yields. In this way, a beehive can be a boost to a whole village.
Although most Heifer partners keep bees as a supplement to family income, beekeeping can be a family's livelihood. Your gift can help Heifer provide a family with a package of bees, the box and hive, plus training in beekeeping - and this unique gift will be passed on to another family in need.

This is my plan ....my slogan is...Help Me, Help People, Help You....because I think that this cause can really make a difference in the world.

Every $30 Raised purchases a package of bees, the box and hive, plus training in beekeeping

Help Make a Difference....

The Launch of something special and dear to me...


Hi Everyone....

Today is the official start of something I hope changes the world in a special way. I just created my first art pieces for this cause. 10.00 dollars from each large printr and 5.00 from each small print sale goes towards a fund to purchase a package of bees, the box and hive, plus training in beekeeping for a special family that needs help. I think in these difficult economic times it may be difficult to help...but doing so will make you feel good. Pop by this blog for regular updates and get some great bee facts too....
Click here to head to my shop to see the art prints....Each print is hand embellished and will be a cherished piece of art in your home.
Help me, Help People, Help You!
