Save the Bees and Butterflies
Our Ecosystem
Our Honey Bees are dying at drastic numbers, Bumble Bees have recently been added to our endangered species list and Monarch Butterflies are nearly extinct now. Only a few years ago the Monarch Butterfly population was in the millions, it has dwindled to under 30,000 according to my recent research on the topic. If our Bees die it is estimated by scientists that our entire ecosystem will die in a matter of 2 years. Without Bees and Butterflies to pollinate our plant life it cannot reproduce. Artificial pollination and green houses would extent our inevitable extinction on this planet before we died of starvation or were no longer able to breath due to a lack of oxygen in the atmosphere with dwindling plant numbers. What is happening to all our Bees and Butterflies? The answer is a combination of factors. Due to pesticides and genetically modified crops many of our bees are dying. To make matters worse we have something called a hive beetle that has spread from the African continent to Europe and America. Aside from poisons and new natural predators our Bees and Butterflies are running out of safe places in nature to live.
Society
I'm not the first to ask my peers to help us all save the bees and monarchs! We should all do everything we can to prevent our ecosystem from dying! Some people don't have the time, some don't have the money. Others do not care. But for those who do whether you can keep bees yourself or not, you can help others do so. It could be $1 or $100. It could just be sharing my story or posts with others. Over the years many fundraisers have been held by people starting their own bee or butterfly farms. For a while there was even federal funding that could cover the greater percentage of your costs for setting up such places. I don't think I need to tell you that the money is no longer available due to government shutdowns and misdirection of tax dollars and government funding. I don't want to get into politics at all but the government is not going to save our bees, we have to do that ourselves! And please no arguing over exact numbers and statistics. The fact remains regardless of specific numbers.
Set up Costs
Lets be realistic, I'm not asking for other people to pay for my dreams or the beautiful homestead I want to create. I am asking for help on the down payment for the land I will be making payments on for 15 years. And I'm asking for help with the start up costs of keeping bees and butterflies. This includes the bugs themselves, hives, butterfly house, gardens, safe pest control for beetles and other predators of bees and butterflies, as well as proper licensing for keeping butterflies. Every year my bee hive numbers will nearly double as one hive splits every spring into 2 hives. The down payment on 10 acres in my area will cost me between $500 - 5,000. The bee keeping set up will cost between $500 - 1,000. The start up cost for monarch butterflies is about $500 - 3,000. So for all three that is a start up cost of a minimum of $1,500 up to 9,000+. Obviously the more over $1,500 the better the setup will be to start with. I'm not a person that typically asks people for money. I'm very independent and take care of myself and those around me. Having said that I am going to do this and so much more, regardless of if this go fund me works or not. I'm not made of money but I am persistent and passionate! Anything you feel moved to help with is greatly appreciated. The more help I get the sooner this can happen. And if not my charity, I sincerely hope you all consider helping a similar charity in the future. 100% of the funds donated after go fund me takes their percentage will be used for the bees and butterfly set up. As well as all the money I can personally spare.
About Me
For those who care to know a little bit about me. My name is Hannah Pearl. I'm 30 years old. I'm single intentionally to achieve my goals. I live in Springfield Missouri United States. The land I'm purchasing is an hour and a half away from Springfield Missouri. I don't do drugs, I rarely drink alcohol and don't smoke cigarettes. I'm not a vegan or vegatarian but I feel extremely compelled to stop consuming store bought meat due to the conditions of the animals and the standards for what is considered safe meat to consume. I do not judge people who are vegan or vegetarian just as I do not judge those who are too poor or uniformed to eat food that is not raised in cruel conditions or pumped full of chemicals to grow or preserve it. We are all at different levels of aware and have different capabilities for obtaining the resources it takes for us to survive. I feel more comfortable in nature than in public. I am an artist of many kinds. My full time job is a tattoo artist at a very reputable talented shop. I personally do EVERY style of tattooing EXCEPT portrait faces, micro portraits and genital tattoos. I specialize in fixing and covering unwanted or damaged tattoos. When I'm not tattooing I do modeling, Photography, Painting and Writing. I am an internationally published writer and model. I'm still new to photography but recently saved up for my professional camera set up and lenses. These things are not what make my living currently but I am passionate about creating art and beauty in the world. When I get my land I will be doing gardening. I am fully aware how much effort it takes to grow gardens and can therefor imagine the commitment of keeping bees and butterflies. It is a worthy use of my time and passions. I spend all my waking hours creating beauty, mending chaos and helping those around me. I have many goals in life. Bees, Butterflies and Gardens are not my only plans. I plan to travel and collaborate with other artists. I plan to build a self sustaining modular home. I want to learn the violin some day. I want to spend my life putting more into this world then what I take from it. I thought if people could ask for help to get cars, homes and pet surgeries that I could ask for help for this cause and it not be considered a hand out. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Below are links to the many forms of art I do.
