Simmers Save The Bees - Earth Day 2019

Bees are an essential part of our ecosystem and due to habitat loss, widespread use of pesticides and destructive hive diseases, they’re dying off at a rapid pace. 

This Earth Day (April 22nd), I wanted to share a cause close to my heart with the simming community and make it a goal to raise awareness.

So what can you as a simmer do to help?

- help me raise awareness by reblogging this post and others like it and by using the tag #simmerssavethebees on tumblr, instagram, and twitter.

- cc creators: consider releasing special bee-themed cc and/or by donating a portion of your income earned through paetron, adfly, etc to a bee conservation charity - or better yet, a local beekeeping organization in your area! If you’re interested in contributing cc - please let me know and I’ll add a link to your blog on a master page/post! I also have a little logo I’ll be using on my own cc that I’d bee happy to share!

- builders: create and release special “bee friendly” gardens, community lots, houses, etc! Make sure to use the #simmerssavethebees on the sims 4 gallery too!

- twitch/youtubers: consider hosting a charity stream on your channel and donate the proceeds to a bee conservation charity, or even better- a local beekeeping organization!

- Can’t do any of those things? That’s okay! Consider spending your Earth Day planting a small bee garden or make a simple bee bath for your garden (ever seen bees bathing? IT’S SO FREAKING CUTE!) Want to help in an easy and free way? Consider signing this petition organized by greenpeace to ban bee-killing pesticides in the agricultural industry.
