.bee-cause.

Today, I found this cute awareness message  in my inbox sent to me via Anthropologie.  With Earth Day officially set for tomorrow, it was a reminder of the critical situation the world's honeybees are in, as vast numbers of their population are dwindling at an alarming rate.  Many of the foods we enjoy, such as fruits and nuts, would not be in existence had it not been for these yellow and black striped workers aiding in the pollination process.  There's a lot more to these little guys than just honey.  To learn more about Anthropolgie's "bee cause" go to their site here.  Also, visit "Help the Honey Bees," an interactive site, created and sponsored by Haagen-Daz, to help raise awareness.  This brilliant site provides visitors with information on this strange phenomenon, the effects it can have on our environment, along with ways we as individuals can participate in their recovery.  So this Earth Day, let us all make a point to truly do our best for the environment we live in.  And just when you're about to spoon up some sugar for your tea, think about supporting local beekeepers in your area by purchasing honey instead!
