Beekeeping workshop: not only for brave people / Taller sobre abejas y panales: no sólo para valientes

Not only does UBC* have a farm, but also some pretty cool beehives. So, why not learn a bit more about bees and beekeeping? (If you want to know why that might be important, check our previous post about what’s all the hullabaloo about bees)

Bee keeping fashion: better safe than sorry

Look at all that honey!

I, together with other adults and kids, attended this bee keeping workshop / demonstration thanks to the community engagement program they have at the UBC Farm and Centre for Sustainable Food Systems, right on campus at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in the city of Vancouver, Canada. Cool to be able to learn about farming right in the city.

How much space are we giving away to cars? / ¿Cuánto espacio le hemos cedido a los autos?

Nothing better than pictures to realize how much space are we giving away to cars.

A bit ridiculous to drive by yourself in a car if you have other options, isn’t it?

And wouldn’t it be nice to just be able to walk around the city freely?

It’s a bit scary sometimes with so many cars.
