Bee Yourself

Pollination is an essential part of plant reproduction. We often think of bees and flowers when we think of pollination.  Bees aren’t the only pollinators; other are moths, fliies, beetles, hummingbirds, butterflies and the wind pollinate. 

Many of the foods we eat depend on pollinators. Here are many of them: Apples, Almonds, Oranges, Avocados, Peaches, Pears, Plums, Cherries, Alfalfa, Blueberries, Vanilla, Cranberries, Tomatoes, Kiwi, Figs, Coffee, Strawberries, Blackberries, Raspberries, Lemons, Limes, Eggplants, Kumquats, Nectarines, Grapes, and Cacao.

Today I’ve made a fruit salad with some  of them including Apples, Strawberries, Blackberries and Raspberries. Here is my recipe:

2 cups Broccoli

1/2 cup Diced Apples

1/2 cup Blackberries

1/2 cup Strawberries

1/2 cup Raspberries

1/2 cup Pineapple Chunks

1/2 cup Pecans (Optional)

1/3 cup Honey Mustard Dressing 

Using fresh ingredients are always best for this salad. Fold all ingredients into each other and pour dressing. Toss again.  Serve chilled.  Enjoy!
