How We are Helping the Planet : #treesforbees
We care deeply about the planet and creating a business that gives back to nature. That’s why we’re thrilled to share that we’re partnering with
One Tree Planted/@onetreeplanted to plant a
tree !
Why Trees? And Not Bees?
Because it just isn't about bees! The planet is struggling and it just won't matter if we save the bees and they have nothing to eat. It won't matter that we figured out how to remove varroa but there is no way to shade the hives and clean the air. The fact of the matter is that the planet's ability to cool and regenerate must include trees.

How are any forests left!? This is crazy! My kids deserve a better world than the one I grew up in NOT a worse one!
Swarm in a tree
The bees are our amazing partners in this world. We want to be good keepers of the bees. So how do we do this? We decided that our efforts with the bees are everyday, so planting trees would be our charitable effort AND that includes you! Why trees? Trees provide shelter for our bees in their feral state whether swarming or as a colony at home. Trees generally provide the first food sources for our honey bees and many of the major nectar flows! But trees provide for humans as well. Think of how many things in everyday use that depend on trees. Need I name them ?
Toilet paper!
Packaging
Newspapers/ Books
Toilet paper (did I mention that?)
Shampoo (Yes!)
Toothpaste
I could go on but you have a computer too!
Trees give us beauty that must be recognized as a remarkable gift! As artists throughout the centuries painted treed landscapes, imagine a world with no Almond Blossoms by Van Gogh or A Wooded Path in Autumn by Hans Anderson Brendekilde. Even real estate value goes up when trees are on the property. Want more? Just read below to find out just how valuable all that beauty can be to a community.

Trees help reduce crime.
The need for trees can be viewed as human-centric but the entire animal and insect world need trees. Forests clean water that effects fish populations, drinking water and more. Provide shelter and foods for all on this planet. They provide medicines (asprin is from willow) and carry many secrets that we may never discover!
80%
of the world’s terrestrial plants and animals live in forests and are losing their habitats to deforestation. Loss of habitat can lead to species extinction. This is not only a biodiversity tragedy but also has negative consequences for medicinal research and local populations who rely on the animals and plants in the forests for hunting and medicine.
So
We decided to give back! Trees are it. It will still bee high on our list to "save the bees" from rampant chemical use and lack of diversity in our plant world. But I truly believe starting with trees is our best foot forward and that's why we will donate trees.🌴🌴🌴🌴🌳🌲🎄 I hope you think so too!
To get the tree planted , the party started or the ball rolling we have donated 12 trees already!
