Help Me, Help People, Help You: Thank you all for helping....

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.
