This year through the Advent Conspiracy we took giving to heart. Not only did we give gifts that would benefit the world around us to friends and family but we also gave them to one and other. Today as I was unwrapping my gifts from Anthony I was thrilled to learn that he had given two gifts of Bee's in my name through Heifer International.
The Buzz About Bees
From Uganda to El Salvador, bees from Heifer International help struggling families earn income through the sale of honey, beeswax and pollen.
Beehives require almost no space and, once established, are inexpensive to maintain.
As bees search for nectar, they pollinate plants. Placed strategically, beehives can as much as double some fruit and vegetable yields. In this way, a beehive can be a boost to a whole village.
Although most Heifer partners keep bees as a supplement to family income, beekeeping can be a family's livelihood. Your gift can help Heifer provide a family with a package of bees, the box and hive, plus training in beekeeping - and this unique gift will be passed on to another family in need.

What was also fun about this gift is that I gave two bee hives as gifts this Christmas too. Soon in the world four families lives will be changed all because of the Advent Conspiracy and four hives of honey bee's.
