This Month: 🐝 Bee-Inspired DIY 🍯

You can make something useful or creative that has connection with bees. It can be something for the bees, something made from bee products (like wax or honey), or just something that looks like a hive, flower, or bee! Let’s show some love to bees and nature 💛

## Why We Do This? Bees help plants grow by pollinating them. They are super important for fruits, flowers and food. And they give us nice things like honey, wax, and more. This is our way to say thanks and celebrate nature!

## 🌼 What Can You Create? Here are some simple ideas. But you can do other things too!

Beeswax candles or food wraps
Small hotel for bees or pollinators
Natural garden tools or bee-friendly decoration
Art or craft with honeycomb shape
Skincare made with honey or propolis
DIY with yellow, black, and nature colors

# 🌍 Be Responsible ♻️ Whenever possible, try to use natural or recycled materials. One of our goals is to raise awareness about resources in the DIY community. Every day, the world creates over 5.5 million tons of waste - and many crafts still rely on new materials. In this community, we want to support creators who think outside the box and give new life to what already exists. You’ll earn more support and points if your project shows care for nature and uses things like plastic bottles, old cardboard, or natural elements in smart and creative ways. in the name of bees and overall nature: Thank you!
