Perhaps nothing on our list of disappearing Europe and America is so dire; plummeting so enormously; and so necessary to the survival of our food supply as the honey bee. 'Colony Collapse Disorder,' or CCD, has spread throughout the Europe and the US over the past few years, wiping out 50% to 90% of the colonies of many beekeepers -and along with it, their livelihood."
FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY, A GROUP OF ARTISANS ON ETSY ARE DONATING 5% PROCEEDS (of participating items) TO BEE RESEARCH. Look for the red bee logo in my shop, and see our team web site for more details www.beeswaxteam.com
Since I am proud to be a part of the Beeswax Team on Etsy I have offered some of my paintings to be considered in this sale. All you have to do is check out my Etsy shop to find which items have the above bee sale logo!
To give you a head start I will let you cheat and help you by listing the three paintings that are part of this sale.
Pastel Pansies - original encaustic painting
A Tori - an original encaustic
Icy Waters - encaustic painting
So, do check out all the paintings which are listed on the Beeswax Team's web site for further wonderful examples of what can be done with beeswax! alternatively check out the shops on Etsy that show the logo as their avatar.

This is really beautiful work. And a very nice blog. I have visited a couple of times and it is nice to see the different designs you get with the wax. Keep it up.
A great cause. If we lose the bees, who knows what will happen to the food chain.
I'm glad to discover your blog. Now I can learn something about encaustics!
Wonderful blog..thank you for sharing! Your artwork is gorgeous!
