Hope you enjoyed the Fava beans. We're putting more in this week. Caught this bumble bee on a Fava bean flower. Thanks to these great pollinators we have plenty of fava beans. Bumble bees globally are in decline and are threatened to extinction by agricultural pesticides, climate change, disease, and a loss of habitat. Fortunately there are places on earth were bumble bees can still thrive and stay alive. That place is Rare Earth Farm. Tip your hat to one of the most important pollinators for many of our crops. Thanks for the favas mister bumble bee!
