Happy World Bee Day!!!

I am proud to say that Toronto declared itself a Bee City.

We even have an official City Bee.

I have actually seen the metallic green sweat bee in my garden. We have a lot of different bees in the city and many honey bee hives.
Pesticides were banned and people are working to plant bee friendly gardens. There is a strong focus on native plants that meet the needs of our bees and other pollinators. 

We have a pollinator protection strategy.

We are doing what we can. It would help bees if more cities would focus on their needs and become bee cities.
