Hey, Earth Rangers, it\u2019s me, your old pal BEE-atrice! Have you heard what everyone is buzzing about? Only the most important day of the year: May 20\u2026which is Bee Day! The day everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, celebrates me! (And my BEE-FFs).<\/p>\n\n\n

Now, you might wonder why bees deserve a whole day of celebration. The answer is simple: because we\u2019re such hard workers! Being \u2018busy as a bee\u2019 isn\u2019t just a saying, it\u2019s true! We bees have a very important role to play\u2014we\u2019re pollinators.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how pollination works: when bees fly from flower to flower, we collect nectar and pollen\u2014yum!  But a lot of those pollen grains stick to our fuzzy bodies and legs. When we land on another flower, some grains fall off and pollinate the plant. You can thank me and my hive-mates for lots of tasty fruits and veggies. And don\u2019t forget beautiful flowers! We help with those, too! (You\u2019re welcome!)<\/p>\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for some Bee-Day celebration inspiration, how about checking out the Pollinator Power Mission? When you do, you\u2019ll learn all about planting your own pollinator-friendly garden (I promise, I\u2019ll come visit!). No yard? No problem! You can grow your plants in pots instead! We\u2019ll even teach you how to build a bee condo (I\u2019m ready to move in, if you\u2019re looking for a tenant).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter how you celebrate, I hope your Bee-Day is BEE-utiful!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
