Dandelions and Honeybees
In the first mural from a local artist, dandelions and honeybees are featured, calling for a deeper understanding of the need for diversity in ecosystems. The artist highlights her concerns about the common use of pesticides and herbicides to control diversity, often leading to a misunderstanding of many plants that we refer to as weeds and insects that we refer to a pests. In some cultures, weeds are valued due to their nutritional and medicinal characteristics while some insects are valued sources of pollination or protein. Dandelions and honeybees urge us to value diversity.
