Let It Bee Bumble

Let It Bee Bumble
I tried not to stumble across this Bumble buzzing madly across my path.

It appeared injured-not making any headway so I gently shepherded it onto a piece of straw and placed it on a nearby Dandelion cushion-half humorously thinking it would be so simple if a herbal remedy tea was all this delicate creature needed.

Key pollinators of crops and wildflowers, the Bumblebee population is in steep decline. Joining the ever growing list of endangered insects living in imbalanced ecosystems, bees and the conservation buzzwords “Habitat Restoration” speak loudly!

Reading up on the plight of bees, the supposed causes for their disappearance ranges from climate changes, pesticide use and introduction of nonnative pathogens.

Hopefully, learning more about Fishers Island land management- restoring, enhancing, and creating high quality living space, each property owner may actively provide bees and insects with time to make a comeback “home”. 

So we can all Bee.
