Jessica Michibata's Bees
Bees have an incredible impact on the world, far beyond just making honey. As vital pollinators, they help plants, flowers, and crops thrive, ensuring a healthy food supply for both humans and animals. I find it amazing how their work supports entire ecosystems, maintaining biodiversity and helping forests, gardens, and farms flourish. The more I learn about bees, the more I appreciate their role in keeping our planet balanced and thriving.

In the video below you can actually see (really close up!) how the bees are on my beehives!
What I find especially inspiring is how bees contribute to agriculture and global food security. Without their pollination, many of the fruits, vegetables, and nuts we rely on would struggle to grow, leading to serious consequences for both wildlife and human nutrition. Beyond food production, bees also support natural habitats by helping wild plants reproduce, which in turn provides shelter and food for countless other species. Every time I see a bee at work, I’m reminded of how these tiny creatures have an enormous, positive impact on the world around us.
