To Bee or Not to Bee - We're Better together

Hello hello,

Welcome to this awesome blog hop and at my stop! 

You would have arrived here from  Beverley's blog

I have two cards, one made by my son and another by me to share with you along with  a Video tutorial on how we made our cards.

 Before you go ahead, here are some pictures from our garden.

Busy bees

And their girl friends - Fashionable Lady bugs

Every individual can contribute to the preservation of bees and other pollinators:

• Plant nectar-bearing flowers for decorative purposes on balconies, terraces, and gardens.
• Buy honey and other hive products from your nearest local beekeeper.
• Raise awareness among children and adolescents on the importance of bees and express your support for beekeepers.
• Set up a pollinator farm on your balcony, terrace, or garden; you can either make it yourself or buy at any home furnishings store.
• Preserve old meadows – which feature a more diverse array of flowers – and sow nectar-bearing plants.
• Cut grass on meadows only after the nectar-bearing plants have finished blooming.
• Offer suitable farming locations for the temporary or permanent settlement of bees so that they have suitable pasture; as a consequence, they will pollinate our plants, which will thereby bear more fruit.
• Use pesticides that do not harm bees, and spray them in windless weather, either early in the morning or late at night, when bees withdraw from blossoms.
• Mulch blooming plants in orchards and vineyards before spraying them with pesticides so that they do not attract bees after being sprayed.

For my card I have used stamps by one of our kind sponsors for this hop - Pretty Pink Posh.

I stamped Bees from Bee friends stamp set and flowers from MFT's Fairy happy stamp set.

I wanted to make my bees fly so I created an acetate panel, you can check how I created the card here.

My son joined in spreading the awareness and learnt more about bees in the process.

He did finger printing for this card and gave this to his grandmother for Mother's day :) I have him as a special guest on my You tube channel where we made this card.
