Every great fair memory starts with someone willing to lend a hand.

🐝🐝

When you think you had a hard day at work…

A bee visited hundreds of flowers, carried loads heavier than you’d expect, navigated miles using the sun, helped pollinate the plants that feed wildlife and people, and still made it back home before dark.

And tomorrow? It does it all again. 🐝🌼

Happy World Turtle Day! Watch out while driving on the roads from April through October when turtles are most active. Stay alert, follow the speed limit, and be prepared to brake if you see one of these slow moving reptiles.

Turtles, such as the state-endangered Blanding's turtle, can be long lived, so the loss of even one mother to a road collision can cause ripple effects in the population for decades to come. Every egg counts when it comes to saving an endangered species.
