Flowers for Bees →

This spring lets plant local flowers free of pesticides for our bees... 

Here is a wonderful TED Talk from Marla Spivak on bees, their incredible social structures, their importance in our agriculture, the rates at which they are dying and the wonderfully simple and beautiful ways in which we can help!

Please join us on April 11that Studio Colfax, Denver Colorado during the opening reception for an exhibition of this work and further studies on fertility and life... I guarantee a very fine time!
