Storytelling With Twitter-Possible?  YES, It Is! Jimmy The Bumble Bee | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Some (actually a lot…) told me that Twitter is worth NOTHING, really!? I got discussions with people about the value of Twitter and Social Media, people who don’t understand the importance and the influence that Social Media has and I took this as a challenge to answer through my blog posts to give THEM an idea about WHAT THEY are missing...


Check out the adventures of "JimmyTheBumbleBee" and enjoy the beauty of nature ;)

Bees, and Survival of the Human Race!

Bees, and Survival of the Human Race! | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
We decided this time to explain the importance of the Bees in our everyday life. Very few people know what is going on with the world’s bee population and the effect they have on our food supply. So let’s talk about it.
Gust MEES's insight:

 

So if honey bees disappear and we do not find replacements that can do the work they do; then foods that we take for granted will decrease in supply and increase in price.

In other words, there is a direct connection between the bees pollinating the crops and our ability to provide food for our families.

A MUST read!!!
