Save The Bees Network Map By Aneela
If we achieve our goal of planting flowers in the school garden, then we will have contributed to saving the bees and helping the hospitality classes.

What does she do?
Mary Capobianco is the grandmother of Samantha Capobianco one of my group members in Ms Armstrongs IDC class. She has a massive garden in her backyard where she spends her time all year planting and taking care of her flowers, trees, fruits and vegetables.
How does she impacts the issue?
She does the same thing I want to do for our project which is gardening to save bees. She gives us some of the bulb flowers she has to use for our gardening. She also gave us knowledge on how to correctly plant those bulb flowers.
Impacts
Bees
What do they do?
Honey Bees collect pollen from plants and transfer it to other plants. By doing this it helps the plants grow. They take some of the pollen back to the colony with them and make honey for humans.
How do they impact the issue?
Bees impact the issue because it is all about them. They have an important influence on the production of food. Almost every bite we take is possible because of bee pollinators. When we plant flowers, fruits and vegetables we will be aiding the bees to give them more plants to pollinate with and attract the bees around one area so they can reproduce, creating more, taking them out of the endangered category.
Hospitality Classes
What do they do?
The hospitality classes at Jean Augustine is is run by Mr li. They use resources that he and the school provide for them to make healthy, full course meals. They make the meals to give to the food bank and make an impact on their lives.
How do they impact the issue?
For our project we will not only be planting flowers, but a variety of fruits and vegetables too. The hospitality class will be able to use them for cooking. At time when my group is not available to keep the garden up to point, they will be there to water it, or cut off dry leaves to make room for more buds.
Organizations
Burt's Bees
What do they do?
Burts Bees is an organizations that create all natural beauty products out of wax from beehives. Burt was a beekeeper who was sold honey but then one day he met Roanne Quimby. That was when they got the idea to make beauty products from beehive wax. Since then Burt's Bees is known for their beauty products, especially their lip balm.
How do they impact the issue?
Raise awareness about bees by sponsoring the British beekeepers association's adopt a beehive.
Their company raises awareness of how important honey bees are
The funds they raise also go towards the research and education of honey bees
Funds can also be used for breeding honey bees, increasing the population of them and help take them off the endangered list.
Royal York Hotel
What do they do?
The Fairmont Royal York Hotel is a 4-Star luxury hotel located in Toronto. Celebrities and members of the royal family usually stay there whenever the visit Toronto.
How do they impact the issue?
The Fairmont Royal York Hotel impacts the issue because they support saving the bees. They have their own bee garden in the hotel which is located on the rooftop. The fairmont hotels and resorts have been dedicated to protecting the environment for over 25 years. My group will go there sometime during the semester to look at their bee garden and take notes so we can improve ours.

How does he impact the issue?
Mr. Li's role in our project is very important. He allowed us to plant in the courtyard of the hospitality room. This lets us be closer to school so we can work easily whereas in our original plan, we were going to go around the city and plant trees. He was excited about our plan because it would benefit the environment and its something hes been wanting to do for a while.
