Dear Reader,
L’shana tova to my Jewish readers. Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, is celebrated not with champagne and noise makers, but contemplatively with prayers for a sweet new year. Learn more about Rosh Hashanah here, where you’ll find coloring pages, music videos and answers to common questions. I also have a very simple apple cake recipe on my blog .
See ya on the Net,

Honey bees are hardworking, useful insects that pollinate nearly one-third of all the food we eat and make our life sweeter with the honey they produce. In a single day, a single hive can pollinate four million flowers and make up to two pounds of honey. But scientists are confused by an international bee crises, with bees disappearing from their colonies in record numbers in a trend first noticed in 2006.

EPA: Pollinator Protection: Coloring Collapse Disorder
“Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) is the phenomenon that occurs when the majority of worker bees in a colony disappear and leave behind a queen, plenty of food and a few nurse bees to care for the remaining immature bees and the queen. Once thought to pose a major long term threat to bees, reported cases of CCD have declined substantially over the last five years.”
