save the bees knees – cheers to cappie’s honey bee
the workaholic honey bee is certainly one of saturn’s capricornian minions. pay homage to the hardest working insect of the zodiac and enjoy this classic tipple. bees are like any other capricorn… without them… the world would grind to a halt. the goat, or bee, sees to it that things happen, deadlines get met, honey gets made, savings accounts are opened, combs of honey are stored for winter, ect. so thank your fellow capricorn next time you get the chance for keeping the spokes of our big world wheel turning.
don’t forget to also thank the honey bee by:
***planting a garden (yes one plant on your city rooftop does count),
***buying organic produce (and avoiding GM foods like corn, white rice, papaya. unfortunately, the only way to be sure you are avoiding GM foods is to buy organic due to the absence of government required labeling)
***minimizing your use of pesticides (rethink your lawn care and try going au natural. or practice integrated pest management)
***limiting the use of your cell phone (and all other wireless devices. FYI, these are also bad for us.)
***for the very ambitious among us, raising a hive. it’s not as hard as it sounds, and can be quite meditative.)
***taking government action: read here on how germany just outlawed several pesticides. (god forbid the US could so something as intelligent and progressive as that.)
