I read in the newspaper last month that 50 percent of all the bees in Ontario died last winter. As another winter approaches, I find myself worrying over the idea that more bees will disappear. This alarming news makes the efforts of bee conservationists all the more crucial. Just to refresh our memory, I would like to point out that one third of the food we eat is dependent on bees. Without bees pollinating, much of the food we get from plants will disappear, leaving us humans in an awfully hungry situation.
One company that has caught my attention is Burt’s Bees, a United State’s based beauty product manufacturer with substantial Canadian operations. The company is leading an unsung battle to save the bees. Burt’s Bees' goals include building hotels for bees, educating the public - especially its customers - about the importance of bees, and initiating a program to have people adopt bees.
The company's history is rooted in bees, understanding the importance of insects to the earth's ecosystem. The company is at the forefront of the battle to ensure that bees keep buzzing. It’s partnering with some organizations to promote the health of pollinators and fund honeybee sustainability projects in North Carolina through its Greater Good Foundation.
And here in Canada, the company is building bee hotels to help protect solitary pollinator bees from extinction by giving them a place to find food, water and nesting sites. Burt’s Bees is committing a significant portion of its profits from its special products to the Pollinator Partnership Canada to fund the bee hotels.
The disappearance of bees has caused major headaches for scientists and governments worldwide. It's not possible to save the bees alone; responsible corporate organizations need to come forward like Burt’s Bees and join the government in trying to salvage this situation. Let’s keep those bees buzzing.

Is this a distressed area?” she asked, looking at the hundreds of purple bags (plastics) and red bags (paper and cardboard) which cluttered the pavements. I forbore to tell her that on the previous day she would have seen brown canvas bags for garden waste, blue containers for food waste, and that the next day would feature big black dustbins – now only permitted to be put out once a fortnight. -

Most of which are personality traits of the head coach. The man does things his own way, whether you, or I, or anyone else like it or not. But theres a major problem with that philosophy, people have to believe you have the answers. This is why Bill Belichick is headed to the Hall of Fame and why Greg Schianos coaching career should be headed into the dumpster fire he created.

Publicly traded health insurers, such as UnitedHealth Group Inc and Aetna Inc, have hedged against the potential risks of the law by deciding to limit their offerings on the new exchanges for 2014. So their share prices stand to be less affected by news related to the new marketplaces. One exception is WellPoint Inc, which projects that healthcare reform will boost its revenue by $20 billion by 2016.
