SAVE THE BEES - see our BEE products below!

While the causes for Colony Collapse Disorder are unknown, we do know that forces like habitat destruction, misuse of pesticides, invasive species create risks to honeybees. That’s why Pin-Feathers and it's parent company is making donations to help fund research.

There are many places on the web ot learn more about honey bees and to help out in whatever way you can.

The Pollinator Project can be found here:

With a well-respected team of researchers in place, the Project’s work will go a long way in preventing further outbreaks of Colony Collapse Disorder.You can take action today and help make the planet a healthy place for bees.  Plant flowers!  Also,  search for local organic farmers who naturally create pesticide-free, bee-friendly environments while
providing local communities with healthy fresh produce.

By saving the bees, we save a lot more than the bees, we save ourselves.  Imagine the ramifications of no pollination by honey bees.

From

quote..."What is pollination and who are pollinators?

Pollination occurs when pollen is moved within flowers or carried from one flower to another of the same species by birds, bees, bats, butterflies, moths, beetles or other animals, or by the wind. This transfer of leads to fertilization and successful seed and fruit production. Pollination ensures that a plant will produce full-bodied fruit and a complete set of fertile seeds, capable of germinating.

Why are pollination issues worthy of attention?

Today pollinators' existence may be threatened. Since pollinators are largely overlooked, assessing their condition and economic importance; seeking to understand their circumstances, biology, and benefits better; and working to help keep them healthy are positive, pro-active approaches to conservation."
