Bees


This lovely bee was crafted by an artisan from Belarus. Isn't it cute? I am so grateful for bees, for all the hard work they do. Can you think of a more hard-working and useful insect? I can't. I know that in most part without them there wouldn't be any food for us (they are the main pollinators in the world), the honey would not exist (watch out Winnie-the-Pooh!), the health benefits of the pollen and other bee products are still being discovered. And just think of the enormous possibilities that beeswax opens - candles, lotions, soaps, lip balms, crafts to name a few!
Thank you, little hard workers!
