I planted a butterfly garden years ago because, well, I love butterflies and getting to sit outside and have them just fly around is magical. Especially, when I’m lucky enough to see one break from a cocoon and spend the morning uncrinkling its wings. Another nice benefit from my butterfly garden was that the bees also came. Those beautiful round, fuzzy buzzing little sunflowers of the sky. So I also bought flowers just for the bees. Now I get to watch them dive into flowers for nectar and also fly around with their little legs covered in pollen balls, which is the most adorable thing.
But besides adorable, they’re also incredibly important. These little buzzing travelers help to pollinate flowers, by transferring pollen between flower parts when they’re feeding, which in turn helps grow the fruits and vegetables we eat. According to greenpeace.org: “Believe it or not, you have a bee to thank for every one in three bites of food you eat.” That’s a lot of unpaid labor our little friends do, so here’s to celebrating bees in, of course, a bookish manner — you are after all on Book Riot. So show your love of bees with these bookish items.
