As you gather around the Thanksgiving table there are so many things to be thankful for. Remember to thank the bees! The yummy food you put on your plate is made possible by the bees (honey, bumble and solitary bees) and other pollinators such as butterflies and flies. For example:1. A salad: lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, onions2. The veggies: roasted squash, beans, peas, brussel sprouts, potatoes, beets, broccoli, cauliflower, parsnips and turnips, and the cranberries in the sauce3. The desserts: the pumpkin in the pie and the spices that make it yummy (cloves, allspice, nutmeg), apples an apple tart and tangerines.Who wants turkey without the rest of the good stuff? When giving thanks this holiday, remember to thank a bee. Happy Thankgsiving from our family to yours!
