It has become common knowledge that bees are dying. \u00a0I have seen many stickers, read many articles, and heard many people discussing this topic. \u00a0If bees go extinct then the way that we live our lives will drastically change. This is a problem that most people do not know what to do about to fix it. \u00a0Most people are also scared of bees, and run away when they see one, or they are generally not too happy about interacting with them.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have spent some time on a Bee farm in Ecuador. \u00a0The farm was called Bee Farm Ecuador, and there was one family that kept all of the bees. \u00a0The head beekeeper, Gabby, was telling me about what the bees want. She says that a couple of years ago she realized that she could talk to the bees, or at least that she could understand them. \u00a0I know that this sounds crazy, but she says that there is a beekeeping community around beekeepers who are able to talk with bees. She says that the best way to save the bees is to invite them into our lives. \u00a0Every morning she does yoga with the bees, and she will put healing crystals around the beehives that she has made for them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gabby believes in somethings called \u201cthe calling of the bees\u201d, this means that bees come to you if they think that you need them for some reason. \u00a0She says that the bees come and bring their strong feminine energy and the presence of them will help your life in some way. While I do agree that at first this sounded ridiculous, being around her and the bees I quickly realized that I was not scared of the bees while thinking with the mentality of \u201cthe calling of the bees\u201d. \u00a0It didn\u2019t matter if I believed that the bees were there to help my life or not, by me telling myself that they were I was not afraid of them when they flew by me and I heard there buzzing all around.<\/span><\/p>\n

I think that the best way for people to start to help and solving this disappearance of the bees is to first stop being afraid of them. \u00a0And having \u201cthe calling of the bees\u201d mentality is an easy way to do this.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
