During a little doodle time break, with thoughts of my dear friend and colleague Brigit Strawbridge @beestrawbridge in mind. I have produced a Mandala for the Bee's.
Science tells us that Bees should not be able to fly, but science isn't always right!
Mother Nature is a canny lass, so as if to prove science wrong, she created wings to carry Bees, against the odds, to pollenate, in turn supporting life itself.
I have been curious and concerned about reports from many parts of the world that bee colonies were vanishing or dying! Bees are of enormous importance to the survival of the world as we know it, because of their ability to pollinate fruit and vegetables.
Did you know approximately 80% of world food crops are pollinated by honeybees!
Around the world honeybee stocks are declining, the cause or causes for this are not yet well understood. Although clearly whatever the reason, the impact could have a devastating effect on global food supplies, and there is certainly no harm in doing what we can to help the plight of Bee.
