#beesaving

This weekend I saved a bee.

The bee seemed hungry and he had broken his wing.

I recently received a lip balm in the mail from MississippiMap!

This is what their product looks like:

It is made entirely from beeswax and shea butter. It was a little hard to get out of the tin, I’m assuming this is because of the beeswax. However, once you put it on your lips, it is really moisturizing and feels great overall. I did notice that on their Instagram (@ mississippimapco), they have oval tubes, which I believe will be a lot easier to put on than the tin. 

They came really quick in the mail and I was really happy with the packaging.

Also, something really great that MississippiMap is doing, is donating 50% of their proceeds to help saving bees! This is a great way to support the bees and moisturize your lips with a great product as well. 

I recently started up a patron page to help people who’d like to donate money to bee organizations! Each month a different organization is chosen for the money to be donated to. 

For the month of April, the organization that all the money pledged will be donated to is: Planet Bee Foundation.

Planet Bee Foundation is an organization that works with schools, nonprofits, summer camps, environmental center, community gardens and business to build long lasting care of the struggling honey bee and the environment by presenting hands-on educational workshops on location. 

Their program connects children with the Earth at the time they are developing their values which will steer the course of their lives. 

Unfortunately, last month we did not raise any money for the Honeybee Conservatory, but this month I am sure that we can raise money for the bees!
