Seeing my orchard and my garden flowering and covered with bees makes me happy year after year. I plant a variety of fruits, veggies, annual, biennial and perennial plants to attract bees and actually all kinds of beautiful birds and butterflies. But this blog post is about bees only, so lets focus on them, yes?
Colorful plants like those of my Mammoth sunflowers do the trick:
I notice that bees love the flowers of my lime and lemon trees, they suck the nectar out of them and pollinate them:
The bees also love the flowers of my palm trees and the bottle brush tree. This spring my palm trees were flowering and attracted hundreds of bees:
If I want a ton of bees then I let some carrots to go full blossom and this is what I got this week:

Bee Nutrition Facts:
All Bees get all of their carbohydrates from floral nectar and their protein from floral pollen.
Bees rely on flowers to supply them with the food they need to survive. Some flowers (e.g. tomatoes) provide only pollen, the main source of protein for bees. Other flowers (e.g. clovers) provide both nectar and pollen, thus providing both protein and carbohydrates.

My favorite hiking trails so far…but more to come!
Hiking is an economical way to increase your activity level while offering a plethora of health benefits: your heart, lungs, and brain, getting that oxygen! The purpose of hiking to me is to enjoy nature, be WITH nature.
Mist Trail in Yosemite California
Kalalau Hiking Path in Hawaii
National Scotland Paradise Tracks
Inca Trail in Perú. This one takes you to Machu Picchu

Plant wisteria for bees and other pollinators
Wisteria is most fragrant. The blossoms abound with honey bees.
Climate change is a reality. Earth has gone through climate change cycles throughout millennia, and now, the +7,861,040,000 (billions) people in the worldare experiencing this change.
Manufacturing Corporations around the world are the ones that have been destroying the quality of nature, air, and water. Big international manufacturing corporations (from all over the world) are the guilty ones, but, they want to put the guilt on us, citizens. No, it is on them, not on us. They are awfully greedy. They dump their toxic waste in rivers and lakes and air. These corporations don’t care about the earth and well being of humanity.
Thirty-two million pounds of toxic waste dumped into Ohio River each year
We, as responsible humans need to do everything in our power to stop them from keeping on polluting our beautiful earth and all nature in it.
There is hope. I know that. Because we all, individually have the best interest in making out of this earth, a wonderful place to live.

Allah weiß auch, was in den Tiefen der Herzen ist. Alles was schön ist… Seele, Herz, Liebe, Glaube… Wer Kämpft, kann Verlieren. Wer nicht Kämpft, hat schon Verloren.
