Wild Honey
I was clearing out some old magazines when I found a clipping about Häagen Dazs save the bees campaign. It's still up: www.helpthehoneybees.com, and besides featuring some honey flavored ice cream, it directly busks on behalf of researchers at Penn State & UC Davis. It also asks you to support beekeepers and plant a garden. I then coincidentally checked World Changing for the first time in years, and there were some posts by Amanda Reed about bee issues.. While the Colony Collapse phenomena (which inspired the Häagen Dazs campaign) has somewhat abated and was a short term problem, wild bees (and their pollination services) may still be in long-term trouble. It seems that it's still not clear what's troubling American honeybees, but it also seems clear that wild pollinators deserve our support, regardless. The California Native Plant Society (or its like in other states) might be worth a stop if you're thinking of planting something new in your garden.
