Too bee or not to bee 2019

Hello Friends,

Today, we are celebrating 2nd World Bee day with a blog hop which is organized by Milka Gubo. The main purpose of the hop is to spread awareness of the significance of bees for our survival. You can find a lot of educational information on official World Bee Day pages, here: https://www.worldbeeday.org/en/

There are 22 crafters from all over the world are joining for the hop. We all are  sharing something handmade featuring bee/bees, honey or apicultural products. 

Here is my card


We all know that bees are the most hard working insects. A bee visits 50 to 100 flowers per trip to take nectar and pollen to the hive. Apart from making honey they work as nursemaids, caretakers, cleaners, honeycomb builders, nectar ripeners, pollen packers and hive repairers. When they are older, they will begin the public work of collecting water, pollen, nectar and propolis , then working with the house bees to appropriately store and utilize their goods. 

So, the sentiment on my card suggests what we can learn from this incredible insect. I have used alcohol inks on yupo to make hexagons in the background. Here is the close up.

  65. Your hexagons look amazing, but what I love most about your card is the sentiment! I think it's so true! Thank you so much for being a part of this blog hop and helping to share the awareness of the importance of bees. I know that unpasteurized honey changed my life for the good. We have lots of flowers in the front and back of our yard and few of the vegetable plants too that bees love.
