Many Thanks!

Thanks to those of you who helped me exceed my goal for the Nature Conservancy's Plant A Billion Trees fundraiser. (It's not too late to contribute—just use the widget on the Trees=Bees post below.)

Thanks also to my new friend George from Romania for the beautiful package that arrived in today's mail, containing lovingly crafted doilies and a CD featuring buoyant and beautiful Romanian music. George sent this picture along today via e-mail. I hope he doesn't mind my sharing it here. It's wonderful to have an unexpected visitor here at Global Swarming Honeybees.
And a BIG thank you to Majora Carter for having the courage of her convictions.
