I see a garden full of vibrant colors of flowers in bloom but very very few bees. 🐝 In Flanders, 1 in 4 bee colonies died last winter. Beekeepers who have been taking care of their bee colonies in the same way for years are suddenly confronted with dead bee colonies. The causes of bee mortality are complex and not always easy to identify. In any case, there is a need for new and modern beekeeping techniques to make bee colonies more resistant to changed climatic conditions, the impoverishment of the Flemish landscape, the varroa mite and advancing predators such as the Asian hornet. The drought in the summer of 2022 led, among other things, to a limited food supply for bees. Plants produced less nectar and bees could collect less pollen. The lack of pollen in the summer in particular is detrimental to a bee colony preparing for winter. The beekeeper plays an important role in the survival of the bee colonies. 🐝

I'm planning to do a beekeeper course next year because graphic design isn't going to save the world 😂 … Not that I can save the world, on the contrary, but nature is so important to me that I decided to do something extra. 🤍🐝 I will keep designing for 100% ❤️ but I'm going to walk an extra small path at the same time.
