The seasons are changing, and so is our approach to garden care. You can support pollinators throughout the fall and winter by leaving leaves and other natural debris: davidsuzuki.org/living-green… #ProtectPollinators #GetMessy

#WorldFoodDay is the perfect time to celebrate the 🍯 🐝s that keep our food world buzzing. Thanks to them we get to enjoy a variety of fruits, veggies, nuts, & legumes. Though each culture & the foods enjoyed are different, we all share a reliance on #pollinators to feed the 🌎.

(1/2): Pesky cough? #Honey has been used for centuries to help alleviate symptoms of the common cold, & research confirms this approach for children ages one & older. Honey offers an effective & natural alternative to over-the-counter cough medicine.

Honeybees communicate with other bees using pheromones. In addition to their dances, honeybees also communicate with each other using pheromones. These chemical signals are used to alert other bees to danger, mark food sources, and regulate the behaviour of the colony.

It's #NationalPollinatorWeek! Approx 75% of flowering plants need pollination help from animals like 🦋, 🐝, 🦇, 🐦, beetles, & other insects! These animals help to pollinate vegetables, herbs, fruits, nuts, & even chocolate! This week, we say thank you to our pollinators!
