Thinking of bees and butterflies



 Because my name means "bee" in greek, I cannot help but caring for this part of nature being endangered... Then I, metaphorically, feel I'm on a search for butterflies. All representations of happiness, nature and spontaneous beauty...

Just a few articles and links on the issue on a busy spring Tuesday in Bristol.


BBC World Service on : Saving the bees

President Obama has announced a new plan to help restore bee and butterfly populations by giving pollinators their own protected corridor in the American Midwest. So how will it work?

#US #Obama #Bees

President Obama has announced a new plan to help restore bee and butterfly populations across North America. The plan’s centrepiece is a proposed bee habitat corridor along the I-35 freeway— a major north-south interstate highway in the Central US that runs from Texas to the Minnesota city of Duluth. Catherine Winter, who lives in Duluth and keeps bees herself, tracked down some other bee enthusiasts to talk about the president's plan and their own efforts to protect the pollinators that help feed us all.
