Bees are beautiful insects that do great service for our environment. They help pollinate flowers and plants to create an area full of rich biodiversity. The world depends on them so much because they are responsible for one-third of all fruit and vegetable production. But what would happen to the world’s food production if they all just disappeared? Colony collapse disorder or (CCD) is the case that occurs when the majority of worker bees in a colony disappear and leave behind the queen.…

It offers sophisticated, local varieties of natural wild honey that differ in taste, color, and texture mainly because the nectar source of bees are different and also because of the season and place it came from.

The trees that were stripped of leaves, left with nothing else other than the branches, start to bud. The life that was previously black and white, is slowly turning into a colourful environment. The flowers are blooming, spreading the news of the arrival of spring. People start to plant flowers, cut grass, and gardening. On a warm day, when the neighbours cut the freshly grown grass, its smell reaches through my house to my chambers and the strong scent hits my nose, firing up my sneezes . …

It is the only surviving member of the Ginkgoaceae family and has no living relatives, making it to be completely isolated from the rest of the Plant Kingdom.

One of the biggest causes of bee loss is global warming, which changes the cycle of how flowers bloom in a certain season. Bees and pollinators hibernate, and often times what happens is that the flowers they need for food bloom before they are done with hibernation, which throws off the cycle in which the bees work in. Another danger against bees is the use of pesticides in farmland, which does…

Imagine flies, bugs, and pests surround your house like swarms of bees surround a garden full of flowers. Imagine planting, caring, and/or petting a pet or plant that can make their own food, gather their own foods, and/or survive without rich soil, fertilizer, etc. It's a Venus Flytrap you seek.

As Venus Flytraps consumes insects, they dissolves in the…

After joining our families in marriage, my husband and I combined our dreams. His - of owning a farm and growing our own food - intertwined with mine of a studio and retreat. As we dream of High Meadows, the fragments of our ideas that once seemed…
