A few ways this could be viewed. Scientifically, obviously. Religiously, with Gods creatures taking care of others. And, artistically, again very obvious. The statistic did surprise me. It wasn’t until you explained the white dots. Then it hit me over the head. It’s all pretty simple. Flowers and plants produce oxygen with humans need to breathe. The bees pollinate, ie. feed, the plants/flowers. That gives the flowers the food they need to survive, thus in turn keeping us crazy humans alive. With that thought, maybe 1 in 3 is a conservative number.
Thank you for delving into this. At this link is the story the stat was from, but the metric means one third of what we eat is something grown and requiring pollination to survive/thrive. The link was buried in some generic underlined text. I do also consider the bees a critical part of the artistry and spirituality of our planet🫠✨❤️
Wonderful, Cori! Indeed a needed reminder of the humble bees, who do help us stay fed. God is the perfect Designer of all this incredible detail. I am not in the snow zone...but I have friends who are and I am praying for them... and the Spring that will be here soon enough. Blessings to you for these inspiring photos of our pollinating friends, Wendy
Thank you Wendy. We’re in the 18 inch snowfall zone but we’re prepared. My sister had a “festival of soups” yesterday. We each made an app or bread and soup and we all took leftovers home to warm us through this storm. It was a brilliant idea and a big success. I made a crockpot firm of tortilla soup. She made cream sausage kale potato soup, Jamie made chicken noodle soup. It was amazing!
Pictures made me feel lighter and they made me smile 😊🙏🫶💕
Thank you sis. That’s what I hoped for. ❤️✨🦋
Incredible photos !! The close ups are amazing.

I love seeing all the cheery spring photos just as we are about to have a huge snow dump. Thx for this lovely post.
I felt the same way. Let’s talk about bees and remember all this snow is going to melt!🙏✨❤️🦋
