I was helping to plant a #pollinator garden at an elementary school today when this visitor stopped by to say hello. The kids were so excited and curious. Highlight of the day. #bees #nativebees

My fav new app is @meetlibby. Check it out if you like #ebooks, #audiobooks. Just another reason to ❤️@torontolibrary.
Anyone can make things happen, like Eric Davies who has planted 1,500 acorns in the front yard of his apartment to help restore native trees in his hometown #Toronto. buff.ly/2QOsgEH

There are over a dozen egg eating snakes. They are awesome snakes - they have no teeth, no venom, and they feed solely on EGGS!!! (Video via Instagram Animal_Encounters)

Very grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the #2018BeeCitySummit. More than 20 Ontario cities, schools working together to protect #bees #pollinators.
A fantastic group gathered for the #2018BeeCitySummit. Great info being shared by #BeeCity affiliates, researchers, beekeepers. Paul Kozak, #Ontario Provincial apiarist now speaking. Lots of learning! #bees #pollinators

No comparison to store bought. I might have to get another tree. 😊
The figs are finally ripe and so tasty! Totally worth the effort to protect, overwinter the tree. #figs #growyourown #gyo

#Toronto #history: 100 years ago, an incident at the White City Cafe set-off 3 days of riots and the looting and destruction of dozens of #Greek-owned businesses across the city.
One hundred years ago Toronto experienced one of its largest riots. As many as 50,000 people took to the streets, destroying Greek-owned businesses. As @JeyanTVO explains, resentment towards Greek immigrants had been building for some time. #onthistory #tohistory

A pair of bumble bee mimicking flies from earlier this year. They liked the chives, as did many other #pollinators and #bees.

Three years ago, the nice people at @pommiescider gave me a small potted #apple tree, which I planted in our yard. Today, I picked our first delicious #homegrown apple! 🍎 #growyourown #GYO #urbangarden #gardening

Standard fare for most Cypriot households where it's known as moujendra / μουτζιέντρα. I might have to make some tonight! #vegetarian #Cyprus 🇨🇾
Lentils and rice cooked together with herbs and spices, topped with caramelized onions. 😋
