Honey Bee's Dreamland

Vocal: Bunny Wailer
Recorded 1970
Produced by Lee "Scratch" Perry

a lyrical ballad featuring bunny's wistful lead, this is essentially a love song in the best sixties tradition of sam cooke, curtis mayfield and the impressions. but it is also something more, something uniquely rastafarian, capable of transcending private affairs of the heart to assume a public mantle, bouth political and religious, as our man imagines the new eden. "oh what a time that will be" he tells us, swept up in his arcadian reverie, "we'll count the stars up in the sky and, surely, we'll never die".

Why Support Pollinators?

In their 1996 book, The Forgotten Pollinators, Buchmann and Nabhan estimated that animal pollinators are needed for the reproduction of 90% of flowering plants and one third of human food crops. Each of us depends on these industrious pollinators in a practical way to provide us with the wide range of foods we eat. In addition, pollinators are part of the intricate web that supports the biological diversity in natural ecosystems that helps sustain our quality of life.

Abundant and healthy populations of pollinators can improve fruit set and quality, and increase fruit size. In farming situations this increases production per acre. In the wild, biodiversity increases and wildlife food sources increase.

Unfortunately, the numbers of both native pollinators and domesticated bee populations are declining. They are threatened by habitat loss, disease, and the excessive and inappropriate use of pesticides. The loss of commercial bees to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) has highlighted how severe the issues of proper hive management are to reduce stresses caused by disease, pesticide use, insufficient nutrition, and transportation practices. Currently, the pollination services that the commercial beekeeping industry provides are receiving much needed research and conservation resources. The efforts to understand the threats to commercial bees should help us understand other pollinators and their roles in the environment as well.

It is imperative that we take immediate steps to help pollinator populations thrive. The beauty of the situation is that by supporting pollinators need for habitat, we support our own needs for food and support diversity in the natural world.

By adding plants to your landscape that provide food and shelter for pollinators throughout their active seasons and by adopting pollinator friendly landscape practices, you can make a difference to both the pollinators and the people that rely on them.

That's a lovely video. Without bees and other pollinating insects, we are doomed.
