Bee my Valentine

With Valentine's Day 5 1/2 weeks away, there's plenty of time to plan ahead, to do a little something special for someone you love.

Many centuries ago, the day was connected to early, or even pre-Spring celebrations of good health for beekeepers, and when the plants and flowers start to grow. It has also been a day to celebrate the 1st day of work in the vineyards.

Over hundreds of years, these symbolic celebrations adapted to birds mating, poetry, sweets, and love.

As a symbol of these gifts from the earth and your heart, acknowledge who is special to you with a kind word and a small symbolic gift.
