“Not a single bee has ever sent you an invoice. And that is part of the problem – because most of what comes to us from nature is free, because it is not invoiced, because it is not priced, because it is not traded in markets, we tend to ignore it.” -Pavan Sukhdev, United Nations report, The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity.

What an utterly amazing shot Jackie! The detail is so wonderful, the wings look like little stained glass windows 😉 bee’s should be considered our number one best friend and reading the words on your chosen quote are so very true – without them, we would struggle to survive!!

Thanks so much! What you say means a lot to me. We must start looking at our natural resources and stop doing things that only destroy them. It’s all crazy and backwards the way things are now!

So, so very true Jackie! The way of things now should sadden many hearts if truth be told! We can only hope that, mankind’s more recent realisations of the wonders of nature and the damage already done, we are still well within the eleventh hour to be able to get back a happy balance for future generations! Tiny creatures they may be(e), but without them……a frightening thought!

The quote is great and there are no words good enough to describe that picture. You can even see the pollen on his back end.
