Bees on Pot?!

Yup. It’s happening. And it’s a good thing. Bees are dying out, but we humans need them to pollinate plants we eat and to nourish animals that become our food. We don’t think of that when we shoo them away or kill them.

There are things we can plant to help bring back the population. And if you’re growing marijuana in your back yard, you may already be doing your part.

This article explains the bees’ vital contribution to humans, what plants we can plant to sustain them, and the place cannabis crops have in helping these little creatures: If you want to save bumble bees, plant these flowers in your yard

Father’s WEEK

Think of this as Father’s WEEK.  Extend the spirit of yesterday’s Father’s Day to a man who has helped you grow.  Maybe he helped you learn right from wrong or saved you from going in a bad direction in life. Or he helped you through a physical, emotional, or spiritual crisis that became a turning point for you.  He could simply have “been there” for you when you didn’t realize that you needed someone to lean on or listened to you when no one else would.  He can be your actual dad, another relative, a friend, a teacher, a police officer, a priest, a youth leader—just about anyone.  Think awhile about what happened and what the results were of his presence in your life.  Sometime this week, go to him and explain what he did and how he made a difference.  He probably doesn’t know.  This is good for you AND for that person.
