Bee-a-thon!

I know a lot of you are interested in beekeeping and how bees affect our lives on a daily basis, so I wanted to pass on this information I received from Mother Earth News about a Bee-A-Thon which is happening on-line tomorrow, July 16th at 9:00 a.m  PST. Since it lasts all day long, you can pop in any time or for the whole event.

According to M.E.N. ... 


"Our friends at YourGardenShow.com and The Great Sunflower Project are pulling together a variety of bee experts — from beekeepers to academics to environmentalists — to discuss the importance of bees and the critical challenges of colony collapse disorder...  Bee-a-Thon 2011 will be a fun, interactive event featuring top experts in science, horticulture, conservation and education.  People can tune-in to Bee-a-Thon anytime throughout the day from living rooms, gardens, mobile devices and “backyard bee parties” all over the world, to listen in and ask questions in real time."

To register for the event visit You Garden Show.

Then, you can join the bee count at The Great Sunflower Project!

Have a bee-autiful weekend and I'll see you tomorrow for the Preparedness Challenge!
