Bianca's Bees
Tax deductible
May 2022: We are grateful to share that your donation has supported the creation of an online educational pollinator resource for students called Bianca's Educator Corner . This educational site, hosted by the Honey Bee Health Coalition, is linked to "Bianca's Pollinator Pathway" located at the Baltimore County Ag Center and Farm Park in Cockeysville, Maryland. Bianca’s Pollinator Pathway includes information and activities that tell the story of how wild bees and honey bees support our environment and food supply. We appreciate your continued support.
*******************
Bianca was born May 17, 2013 and since a little baby loved being outside, even if it was just on our front lawn. Each passing moment, her curiosity, eagerness to learn and experience everything around started shaping her loving, kind, and cheerful personality. She had this profound maturity and very caring to all around her, especially her older siblings. Rarely a frown or sadness, almost as if she knew life was too precious and too short for these feelings.
About three summers ago, we started a vegetable garden in our backyard. Bianca was the first to help her Dad in the preparations, including using a big shovel to flip the soil. So little and yet so strong. Many Sunday mornings, she would go to the back and bring green onions for the traditional scrambled eggs. Our garden called many bees to our yard, and with that, a growing sense of happiness to see them.
Bianca suddenly and unexpectedly left us on September 27, 2020 after 4 days in the hospital from a bleed in the brain caused by AVMs. She had many nicknames: Bianquinha, Ping-Pong, Pupula, Bebê, but when we would write about her on messages, she was just simply “B”.
She lived a loving, and joyful 7 years. She constantly amazed us with her grace, gratitude, and the ability to enjoy the smallest of things. Her love for nature, respect for animals, and being our little “B”, guided us to the idea for Bianca’s Bees.
