Chattanooga Lives Green

The honeybees of the world are in trouble, threatened by pesticides that weaken their immune systems and lead to what’s known as “colony collapse disorder”. Bad for them, and for us, because they are vital to our food chain, and the honey they produce is the least of it–crops can’t grow without bees to fertilize them. Do your part to help bees and other pollinators like butterflies and moths by avoiding pesticides in your own lawn and garden and planting species they like.
