Introduction
Did you know that bees talk to each other by dancing?
Just picture two bees adorably dancing their way through a conversation about pollination. They’re probably talking about it because they’re so good at it. If you’re wearing a cotton shirt right now, a bee somewhere probably pollinated that plant and you owe it a big “thank you”. What about delicious snacks? While you munch on delightful produce remember that 90% of crops are visited by adorable dancing bees.
There’s a pretty solid argument that bees are one of the most important and helpful species on our planet. We can’t live without them, and if that’s the case, then why are most of us still so afraid of them?
And why are we talking so much about bees?
Bees are just like social media: wonderful and necessary; but for some reason they still scare many of us. Social media can provide so many advantages for our businesses but fear of the unknown can cause us to shy away. The goal of this eBook is to take the fear out of social media and show simple ways to work through it. And if you’re afraid of bees….well you’re on your own with that one!
What’s up with the bees and the bears?
Bears are big and scary but are manageable by avoiding them altogether or at the very least know how to get away from one!
Plus the puns are beary irresistible, bee-lieve us!
