| How important are bees to our Eco System? |
Truly, this is BEE-coming a very delicate situation. We share this planet with various types of species, each one has a very important purpose. Have you ever thought about that?
Most people when you say the word 'bee' all they can think of is either, flowers, honey, stinger and something to avoid. They are the ultimate pollinators. The particular bee of importance here is the bumblebee. Bumble bees are reported to be very gentle. I remember one landed on my lap once, sat there for a moment and then as if to say 'excuse me-my bad' it flew away. Its gentle landing didn't startle me, so I just sat there and watched it so as not to frighten it and risk being stung.
In an experiment conducted in Colorado, the scientist discovered that some bees when it comes to pollinating flowers are monogamist which is better for the particular types of flowers that they are faithful to. Flower Fidelity is the term used.
How funny is that?
These flowers tend to grow better and produce more seeds while other bees that are more promiscuous in their nature, the flowers they service are less likely to germinate well.
This part reminds me of the song by the late great singer, 'Marvin Gaye's What's Goin' On' when he sings about flowers not growing. If our bumble bee master pollinators species continue to diminish, this is exactly what we all will be singing, and won't all the occasions that we use flowers for be boring without them. It might save men more money in the long run (lol).
What does this have to do with recycling? Guess.
They spread the seeds of those flowers from place to place so that we can enjoy the beauty of a flower that normally grows in Colorado in uncommon places.
Recycling things whatever they are and turning them into something useful and or something beautiful continues to give new life to old things.
One thing for sure is that we are all in this together. So, please let's all do our parts.
Until next time. Keep Rediscovering and discovering the Joys of Recycling.
peace/good fortune
