I Owe You, Bees.

Sorry for two posts in one day. I'll try to keep this short. It'll be mostly pictures anyway.

I recently watched this 4-minute video about pollinators and read a thingy on DeviantArt about the maker of the video.

It's just another reminder to me of how much we depend on other creatures for our survival, and how careful we have to be not to drive away our benefactors.

Remember that without bees, bats, butterflies etc so much of our food would not even exist. Therefore we would probably not exist. Without them, actually, most plants which reproduce by creating seeds would probably not exist because those seeds are the fruit that results from pollinating the flowers.

When I was growing peas on my apartment balcony, I wondered how in the world bees would find my tiny patch of vegetable plants when there wasn't much else flowering nearby. But they did. Perhaps it was because I let my bak choy and daikon bolt so they were flowering a bunch too, but just the same I was so happy one day when I walked out and saw a bunch of bees flying around. It seemed like a small miracle.

So... it's good to remember that we really don't have the right to do whatever we like with our "resources", and if we think we do, eventually we'll end up destroying ourselves xP So just remember to be grateful for even little "bugs" like bees and other little creatures like bats.
