Dr. Carrie B. Dohe is a researcher and activist, and the marvelous human behind the project, Bees for Peace.
According to the site earthday.org, there are 20,000 distinct bee species around the world. Bees exist in all climates, from forests in Europe to deserts in Africa to the Arctic Circle. While honeybees live in hives, wild bees live in many places, like underground, in holes, and in trees.
With many climactic and man-made disasters in the news, the project Bees for Peace is such a gentle and timely reminder of how inter-connected we are, and how much power we have to make positive change. Bees for Peace is a project currently under the umbrella of the University of Toronto School of the Environment as well as a signature initiative of Pollinator Partnership Canada. This second initiative is dedicated to protecting pollinators and their ecosystems through conservation, education, and research.
