Gardening can get you through hard times, and that was my case while living in Hawaii, but it's about what you can do for nature that matters the most. Between our love for plants and animals, we decided to start designing habitats to help bees thrive in Valencia, and our sense of purpose is greater every day!

We were one step away, but we were not there yet. Was it ok to start celebrating that we had reached our Valencia dream? You could sense our emotions taking over; we were finally getting a break from all the insanity (not only for an entire day from travel). All we had talked about before leaving the U.S.A. was being able to leave the bad behind, but maybe our expectations were too high. It was time to see for ourselves!

By creating small-scale bee-friendly areas, we aim to offer these incredible insects a greater amount of food sources throughout the year, but it can only be done if residents in municipalities follow the same practices, such as planting similar flora. But not having enough people to inhabit these areas could be a problem, so we are supporting the government’s initiatives to curb depopulation.
