#dontkillmybuzz

National Honey Bee Day is on Saturday, August 18.  In an effort to bring awareness to the bees, beekeepers and other honeybee enthusiasts designated this day to help educate and promote the important role bees play in our lives and the environment.  Learn how to Beesponsible with these buzzworthy ideas for supporting pollinators in your garden!

For the month of July, all orders placed at Strangeling.com ($25+) will receive a FREE "Bee Princess" enamel pin! Worldwide, of course! July 2018 marks the 21st Anniversary of my Strangeling website - I started it back in 1997 (wow) and each year we do something special to celebrate the anniversary month. "Bee Princess" is a darling little thing, metal & enamel, exclusively available as our anniversary gift to you. You don't need to do anything special, no code to type in or anything to add to your cart. As long as the total value of goods is $25 or more prior to the shipping costs, as beautiful "Bee Princess" pin will be placed into your package upon shipment =) Please note this is only for my own personal Strangeling website, that's the only one I can control. (Other websites like Amazon/Disney/Etsy/eBay/StrangelingUK/Other Galleries/ etc. are not part of the promotion, only Strangeling.com ). Your order can consist of anything on my site, books, prints, originals, other pins, whatever you want, just has to add up to $25. While supplies last. I am hoping that we will have enough pins to last through the whole month of July, but if you have your heart set on getting a Bee Princess pin I recommend ordering sooner rather than later. Please note - part of the reason I have created this Bee Princess pin is to help benefit the bee-savers at Garden for Wildlife! If you share this page or link or image on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. be sure to tag @beesponsible and use the #dontkillmybuzz and the National Wildlife Federation will get $1 for each mention specifically to help save bees!!! So please, share and use the tag & hashtag - it's easy and helps spread the good word. And yes, if you want to get another one later this month you can order again - we aren't restricting these unless somebody really seems to be abusing the system, lol. (at Celebration, Florida)

#Repost @tiffanithiessen (@get_repost) ・・・ #dontkillmybuzz 1 in 3 bites of food we take relies on bee pollination. Without them, our food production would be in serious trouble. But bee populations have been declining at alarming rates. That’s why @Beesponsible created #dontkillmybuzz, a social media driven t-shirt campaign in support of @nationalwildlife and its pollinator-friendly, pesticide-free gardening and conservation efforts. And the t-shirts are super cute.

The European Commission is playing hide and seek with member states regarding a ban on neonicotinoids, and this benefits pesticide manufacturers who keep on killing bees and the environment, Greenpeace claims. 🐝🌾🌼 #greenpeace #bee #pesticidefree #pesticides #environment #dontkillmybuzz #savebees

When I have an amazing library idea and then someone asks where I'm getting the funding.

"I’m not a believer in balance,I know a lot of people who are philosophers and they sit by the river and talk about what that underwater world might look like. And I’ll say, ‘Dive in, man, and go and see it. Swim around. You’ll be okay."
