Birds and Bees and Humans@!

The Earthwatch Institute has declared bees as the most important creature on the planet. They pollinate our foods and keep the web of life vitally connected. Bees are particularly vulnerable to neonicotinoid insecticides, used widely and daily on crops used for our food supply. Research now shows that human male fertility is greatly threatened by these insecticides. Other research shows that herbicides and pesticides cause greater damage to our human gut microbiome than previously recognized. Organic and regenerative agriculture is not only healthier for humans, it is smarter and healthier for bees and the whole web of life. We have to stop poisoning ourselves and the planet and it's creatures with chemicals of all sorts. Organic fruits and veg may be expensive, but do your best to support your local farmers and suppliers. You support the life of the whole planet at the same time. Maybe start a victory garden to ensure your own food safety network. Buy from locals. Let us return to better healthier ways of living in 2026 and beyond!
