“Bees, it is said, are the most studied creatures on the planet after man.”

The USDA’s gorgeous pamphlet on bees “Bee Basics” (PDF). It’s an educational piece on pollination, bee identification, and things you can do to help save bees. Btw, I’m head over heals for bees. I couldn’t believe it when I saw Michelle Obama’s bee hive on the lawn of the White House last weekend. Plenty to read about bees and climate change, HERE.
