One little fact about me: I LOVE honey.
I love bees even more.
Don’t believe me? Okay, so today a cute little bee flew into my house, hung out with me for a while, and then left. It didn’t sting me. It didn’t do anything but keep me company. We had a fabulous time.
You never need to swat a bee!!
If you keep your movement natural and slow, you’ll never be stung :)
ALSO: I’m guessing you wouldn’t do anything to try to kill say, a polar bear, or gray wolf… or anything endangered. Well, bees are going extinct!! There’s something so sad called Colony Collapse Disorder. There’s a great documentary called Vanishing of the Bees. Do your research! Each and every one is important!
They’re really cute and nice if you just get to know them :)
(one time a bee flew INTO my really hot water and died. I pretty much cried. I’m going to spend eternity trying to make up for it!!)
(Also, disclaimer, if you don’t swat a bee and you still get stung, don’t blame me! Accidents happen!)
FUN note: My favorite honey (other than LOCAL!!) is BEE RAW HONEY. Read up on the company’s blog, The Buzz, and learn all you can about these amazing little creatures!

Thank you! Yes… it’s so sad. I try not to dwell on the sad (or I’ll just cry all the time!) but focus my energy on spreading the word and loving honey and bees each and every day :)
