They've got signs. They've got feelings. And honestly? They've got a point.
Every spring, dandelions are among the first flowers bees can actually find. Before orchards bloom and gardens wake up, those little yellow "weeds" are doing serious work, feeding pollinators when almost nothing else is available.
So this year, maybe let them be for a while. A few extra weeks of dandelions in your yard could make a real difference for your local bees.
They asked nicely. 🐝🌼

CAPE, a natural substance found in bee propolis, was shown in a recent study to slow down the growth of abdominal aortic aneurysms. It does this by reducing inflammation and stopping certain cells from changing in harmful ways, mainly by blocking a cell‑signaling process called the NF‑κB pathway.

Caffeic acid phenethyl ester attenuates phenotypic switching and inflammation in abdominal aortic aneurysm via the NF-κB pathway - Molecular Biology Reports Background In our previous animal experiments, we found that caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) inhibited the early formation of elastase-induced abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) in rats. However, its efficacy in the angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced AAA model and the underlying mechanism remain uncl...
