A Message From a Bee: If You Can Hear Me, Let the Flowers Grow Again
Hello, dear human.
I know I’m small. You might not even notice me when I pass by. But I see you. I see your gardens, your windows, your streets… and lately, I see so many empty places where flowers used to be. I don’t have a voice that can shout. My wings hum softly, my life is quiet—but today, I need you to hear me.
I am a bee.
I don’t just live for myself. Every flight I take, every pollen I carry, every flower I visit—it’s all for something far greater. I pollinate your food. I help trees bear fruit. I keep wildflowers alive. I support entire ecosystems you may never see. The air you breathe, the meals you eat, the beauty that surrounds you… it all begins with a tiny act of pollination.
But I’m tired.
More fields are paved than planted. More weeds are sprayed than spared. The flowers we once trusted are vanishing. And with them, so are we.
Sometimes I fly for miles and find nothing—no bloom to land on, no nectar to feed on. My sisters leave the hive and never return. And still, we try. We always try. Because that's what we do—we work for life.
But we cannot do it alone anymore.
Please, plant flowers. Fill the spaces between concrete with wild color. Let your garden be messy, let your lawn be kind. Dandelions, clover, native blossoms—these aren’t weeds to us. They’re baby bottles for our young. They’re the lifeline between extinction and hope.
Protect the Earth, not just for us, but for your children. Their future depends on what you do today. Imagine a world without bees—without apples, strawberries, sunflowers. Without color. Without song. Without life.
It’s not just about saving us.
It’s about saving yourself.
I know you care. I see the children who stop and smile when they hear our buzz. I feel the joy when someone plants a flower just because it’s beautiful. You have the power to bring life back.
You don’t need a whole field.
Just a corner. A pot. A seed.
And a heart that still believes
