Storytelling Series: The Hum of the Honeybee
<p>The first episode in our Storytelling Series, where we share tales read by those who wrote them. Inspiring you to go out and experience the world around you, thus creating your own stories to share. </p> <p>In this episode, we discuss what the honeybees teach us that small actions have big impacts, and here are a few ways that you can make a difference. Remembering, that supporting the livelihood of our honeybees, supports that of our own. </p> <ol> <li><strong>Let your lawn go.<br> </strong>I always like to start by suggesting this one, as it requires no work but goes a long way. Letting any amount of land return to the wild encourages biodiversity and increases the likelihood of wildflowers to blow in and bloom, thus giving your bees more food for their post-hibernation hungry bellies. Trust me, the bees will thank you (and in my opinion, it’s far more beautiful).</li> <li><strong>Plant native wildflowers.<br> </strong>It’s hard to argue the beauty of a meadow abundant with blooming wildflowers, so find out which are local to you, and spread those seeds! This can also be a great opportunity to plant endangered native species and support those at risk.</li> <li><strong>Avoid spraying.<br> </strong>Keeping things pesticide-free is a great way to avoid harmful chemicals, like glyphosate which wreaks havoc on the bees. Instead, opt for more organic and natural solutions!</li> <li><strong>Support your local beekeepers.<br> </strong>Smaller-scale beekeepers often have fewer demands to meet, thus more room to prioritize the health of their honeybees. This is a great way to support your local food systems and can go a long way for those suffering from seasonal allergies.</li> <li><strong>Giving bees trees.<br> </strong>Trees often get overlooked when we think about providing for the bees, but they’re a great source of nectar and provide them habitats, especially in the midst of continuous deforestation and development. Some trees, like Willows and Maples, make up some of the first food sources for them in the early days of Spring.</li> <li><strong>Choose wisely.<br> </strong>I like to say, if it comes in a squeeze bottle, it’s not the honey you want. This kind of honey is often pasteurized (a sterilization process that heats up the honey, thereby losing medicinal value) and contains fillers like corn syrup. Instead, you can look for raw, unpasteurized honey - which is both better for you, and the environment.</li> </ol> <p>Resources:</p> <p><a href="https://www.thelionstooth.ca/" target="_blank"><u>The Lion's Tooth</u></a></p>
