My passion for gardening started in Cactus Lake,
Saskatchewan where my mother grew a bounty of flowers, fruits and vegetables,
most of them from seed. I also spent many hours in solitude in the nearby wild
prairie grasslands, studying the bees in the meadows. Now as an adult, I find
myself with a mission: to get people growing more food for bees as they garden
to feed themselves and their communities. I also want to shine a light onto
some of the lesser-known bees that pollinate our cultivated and wild plants. These
are the bees we need to save. When I see people growing pollinator gardens that
feed bees and humans, I am filled with a sense of hope and delight. There is a
rainbow of bees of all shapes and sizes that hold the fate of our future on
their wings. I wrote this book to get you working for these beautiful bees.
