As One

Hey, folks! Below I posted some videos from TED, which is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas worth hearing about.  Below, are some videos about the honey bee with topics including: Urban Beekeeping, Honey Bee Health, Colony Collapse Disorder, and more importantly, 'Why Are The Bees Disappearing?'

TED is an awesome foundation helping to spread the word about honey bees globally.  Everyone needs to come together as one. As one human race to help one another on a global scale.  I know its hard to forget about global discrimination and segregation.  But, this isn't the time to be badgering one another about race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or political views.  As we waste time constantly stabbing one another in the back and judging people for being who they are, the natural world around us continues to decline.  It's our turn to put a stop to it.  We need to, before it's incredibly too late.  So listen up and make a change.  Nature helps us everyday, in so many ways, its incredible.  Now, we need to help nature.  As we put more resources back into our communities, it helps them grow larger than they've ever been, becoming stronger and naturally more vibrant.  It's too often that we think about ourselves.  Let's change for the better.

"Noah Wilson-Rich founded Best Bees Company in his Boston apartment while getting his Ph.D. at Tufts University. Best Bees supplies gardeners and any other interested parties in the Boston area with beehives, as well as the resources, materials and appropriate consultation for their upkeep. This service is a nontraditional means of raising money for research to improve honey bee health. Profits from installing and managing these honey beehives goes to fund Wilson-Rich's research into bee diseases."

"Marla Spivak has developed a strain of bees, the Minnesota Hygienic line, that can detect when pupae are infected and kick them out of the nest, saving the rest of the hive. Now, Spivak is studying how bees collect propolis, or tree resins, in their hives to keep out dirt and microbes. She is also analyzing how flowers’ decline due to herbicides, pesticides and crop monoculture affect bees’ numbers and diversity. Spivak has been stung by thousands of bees in the course of her work."
