Did you know these interesting facts about honey bees? ๐ Here's what's buzzing about bees!
๐ A single bee colony can produce up to 45kgs of honey in a year, and to produce just one pound of honey, bees must collectively visit over 2 million flowers.
๐ Worker bees, which are all female, live for about 5-6 weeks during the busy summer months, making as many as 10 flights per day and visiting over 2,000 flowers.
๐ Honey bees use a unique "waggle dance" to communicate the location of flowers rich in nectar and pollen to other bees in the hive.
๐ They can fly at speeds of up to 24km per hour and beat their wings around 200 times per second
๐คโ#DidYouKnow that the fashion industry is one of the largest polluters globally, with millions of tons of textile waste ending up in landfills each year. In the United States, about 17 million tons of textile waste is generated per year while in Europe 5.8 million tons of textiles are discarded annually. Upcycling helps reduce this waste by giving old or discarded fabrics new life โป๏ธ
FuGLies are made from repurposed fabrics to help reduce waste in SA, doing our bit to save the environment ๐
We're not only tough and cute but made with love and purpose โค

๐Happy Earth Day!๐ This yearโs theme "Planet vs. Plastics," focuses on raising awareness about the harmful impact of plastic pollution on human well-being and the environment ๐ฎ
Here are 3 simple things you can do to help reduce plastic pollution:
๐ฅคSay NO to single use plastic like balloons, straws and plastic take-away containers, and educate store management about the harmful effects
โป๏ธ Choose eco-friendly alternatives (e.g., bamboo cotton buds, paper take-away coffee cup lids) and educate friends and family about these choices
๐๏ธ Keep a bag with you at all times for when you visit your local park or beach to collect pollution to dispose of in a bin
Do you have other ideas to help Mother Earth thrive?
