It probably goes without saying we have a fondness for bee's around here...and we are so happy Anthropologie has taken up the cause to save the bees as their Earth Day initiative!!!
Many of you have probably heard about the bizarre phenomenon of disappearing honeybees {colony collapse disorder} and how it is believed pesticides and even cell phone signals are responsible for this...very scary since bee's are critical to the survival of flowers, plants...and OUR food!
Hurry over to Anthropologie to see what the buzz is all about and how you can help!
We thought we'd share some of the amazing little displays from their stores too...such inspiration for our hive...err, office! Many of the props were made from recycled products too...

I'm so glad to see that everyone is getting the word out about the honey bees and how important they are for our way of life! As I write this my fiance, and bee keeper, is giving a presentation to his son's kindergarten class on the importance of honey bees. Everyone should have their own hive (even in the city, which is where we keep ours)!

I was listening to this podcast I subscribe to called Morning Coach, and this morning's inspirational call talked about the idea of the bee, and how the bee's nest, the shape of the honeycomb, is almost a perfect creation. The universe has allowed bees to create this perfect creation, and the fact that this little creature was given the ability to create this hive is so substantial, and they have the ability to create Honey, a marvelous fluid, and all that was provided to a BEE, such a little creature. The call goes on to speak about this idea of awakening to the beauty of life, and connects how if a bee can do all that...imagine how much we can do. I just thought I would share that with you!
Take care!
