First Bees Donation
Nick Csernak and I have selected Bees Without Borders as the charity dedicated to protection of bee populations that we will support with sales of the Bees Knees children's book.
The first payment of $36 has been sent to Bees Without Borders. It's a small amount, but as Lao Tzu said, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step."

Bee's Knees – Now Available Online
I often refer to my son Griffin as the bee's knees.
This, understandably, causes some confusion. What exactly is meant by comparing someone to the knees of a bee? Is it good or bad? A compliment or an insult? This poem, The Bee's Knees, is my attempt at some explanation.
The Bee's Knees -Version 1.0 (Text of the current paperback)
The Bee's Knees – Version 2.0 (Extended play, for slightly older audience - paperback version forthcoming)
Kingston-based illustrator Nick Csernak (http://www.thekitschen.net/) has created a series of fun and lively drawings to accompany the poem and they are now published in a full-colour paperback. The book can be purchased from Lulu.com, in either paper or digital format.
We depend upon bees to pollinate flowers and crops – they are a vital member of our ecosystem. But around the world, bee populations are in decline, primarily due to pesticide use and habitat destruction. A dollar from each purchased copy of the book "You're The Bees Knees" will be donated to associations dedicated to preserving global bee populations, including Avaaz.org (https://secure.avaaz.org/en/save_the_bees_1/?cl=896038176&v=8123).
