There's a new buzz going around, bees are dying at an alarming rate. Nobody knows the reason why this is happening, but many farmers and home gardeners are growing concerned over this recent find.
Bees are needed to pollinate the blossoms of vegetable and fruit plants. Cross pollination equals higher yields of fruits and vegetables. One trick I use to attract bees into my garden, is to incorporate bee loving flowers among my veggie plants. Some of my personal favorites are Sunflowers, Marigolds, and Bee Balm. Not only are they pretty, they also add interesting colors to the vegetable garden. Take care not to plant anything too invasive, such as catnip, or you may be sorry.
I highly recommend planting these flowers around eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, squashes and beans. If you decide to try this method of gardening, you will reap the benefits through a bountiful harvest.

Bees are power animals in shamanism. They teach us human beings to live with joy and bring light into the world. Bees follow the natural rules of life, and so should we. Bees tell us to focus on the joyful, light sides of existence, not on weakness, illness or crime.
