PROTECTING THE POLLINATORS: WHAT THE BEES TAUGHT ME ABOUT COMMUNITY
From helping Niagara Falls, St. Catharines and Welland become Bee Cities to keeping my own bees at Fairview Cemetery and Happy Rolph's, protecting pollinators has been an incredible journey. Along the way, I've made lifelong friendships, worked with wonderful communities and learned some profound lessons from the bees themselves. They're a superorganism, a biological indicator of environmental health, and perhaps one of nature's greatest examples of what we can accomplish together.
