I read in the newspaper last month that 50 percent of all the bees in Ontario died last winter. As another winter approaches, I find myself worrying over the idea that more bees will disappear. This alarming news makes the efforts of bee conservationists all the more crucial. Just to refresh our memory, I would like to point out that one third of the food we eat is dependent on bees. Without bees pollinating, much of the food we get from plants will disappear, leaving us humans in an awfully hungry situation.
One company that has caught my attention is Burt’s Bees, a United State’s based beauty product manufacturer with substantial Canadian operations. The company is leading an unsung battle to save the bees. Burt’s Bees' goals include building hotels for bees, educating the public - especially its customers - about the importance of bees, and initiating a program to have people adopt bees.
The company's history is rooted in bees, understanding the importance of insects to the earth's ecosystem. The company is at the forefront of the battle to ensure that bees keep buzzing. It’s partnering with some organizations to promote the health of pollinators and fund honeybee sustainability projects in North Carolina through its Greater Good Foundation.
And here in Canada, the company is building bee hotels to help protect solitary pollinator bees from extinction by giving them a place to find food, water and nesting sites. Burt’s Bees is committing a significant portion of its profits from its special products to the Pollinator Partnership Canada to fund the bee hotels.
The disappearance of bees has caused major headaches for scientists and governments worldwide. It's not possible to save the bees alone; responsible corporate organizations need to come forward like Burt’s Bees and join the government in trying to salvage this situation. Let’s keep those bees buzzing.

http://www.servicii-ignifugare.ro/kamagra-oral-jelly-pris-5db#deputy kamagra bestellen den haag At Frightfest, I started wondering about the gender gap all over again after a screening of Haunter by Canadian director Vincenzo Natali, best known for Cube and Splice. Abigail Breslin (the moppet from Little Miss Sunshine, now a teenager) plays a sullen 15-year-old who's the only one in her family aware that she, her mom, dad and little brother are living the same day repeatedly, Groundhog Day-style. The screenplay reveals at the outset they're all ghosts in a haunted house, but then goes on to develop the whys and wherefores in a neatly crafted spooky tale that also wrings humour from traditional teenage antipathy towards suburban family life.
