  1. This is the largest Beelipad I make — the only size with room for words, which is the whole reason it exists. 😂 The smaller ones do the same job with less to say.
    They sit in a shallow water dish so bees have somewhere to land while they drink. I’m making them in a range of sizes so there’s one for whatever dish you’re using.
    Stamped freehand, so the letters wander a little.

  6. What Sustainability Looks Like in a Pollinator-Friendly Yard

  11. Kiln opening 🔥 Bisque edition.

    Bisque is my favorite stage in the process. Each piece comes out hard, but still thirsty — full of tiny open pores that will drink up glaze like a sponge when I get to that part.

    In this load: the first Bee & Bee bee hotel (a test, not for sale yet), a few styles of water dish for the bees, and a batch of H₂O Beelipads.

    Color comes next. 🐝

  12. #NinaMunteanu Talks to CBC About #Solarpunk (in #Toronto and Elsewhere)

    May 3, 2026

    Excerpts:

    "On the Emerging Solarpunk Movement in Toronto:

    When asked about whether there is a solarpunk movement in Toronto, I said absolutely! #SolarpunkToronto is an emerging movement focused on building a #sustainable, #equitable future through #CommunityAction, #GreenArchitecture, and #RenewableEnergy, specifically tailored for the city’s urban environment. It includes initiatives like sustainable fashion shows, community meetings, and innovative #storytelling, aimed at merging environmental activism with optimistic technology. The mantra is to achieve a regenerative sustainable urban future.

    I mentioned #LindsayJane of the Solarpunk Scene (Youtube videos on Solarpunk projects in Toronto) and Ariel of Solarpunk Presents with podcast interviews on solarpunk efforts. People can find community on the Solarpunk Facegroup group. I also talked about the #TorontoSolarpunkMeetup at the #CentreForSocialInnovation, where they practice ' #PrefigurativeLife ’: living as if the #SustainableFuture already exists. Which it does, though not everywhere.

    This reminds me of #cyberpunk science fiction author #WilliamGibson’s famous quote: The future is already here; it’s just not evenly distributed.

    Examples of solarpunk initiatives practiced by individuals and small communities include the use of #CommunityGardens, setting up and looking after #RooftopGardens or #raingardens. Tenants can have a #PollinatorGarden on their patio and set up a #BalconySolar panel (now very affordable). People are going electric; some are setting up solar rooftops or balconies. Groups and individuals are engaging in clothing swaps and sustainable fashion runways.

    Community-led trusts are involved in repairing items for reuse instead of adding to the throw-away culture. In my book #ADiaryInTheAgeOfWater the diarist’s mother Una rides her bike all over the community, repairing all kinds of things for a community that has lost its ability to do so; something we’re losing in this digital age.

    On a Solarpunk Future:

    We discussed the feasibility of a city like Toronto becoming 100% solarpunk. My response was a wary yes. Of course it was possible. But, in my opinion, two things have to happen for this to succeed: 1) the willingness of individuals in a community to give up a consumer-led capitalist lifestyle and adopt a lighter gentler footprint; and 2) community and city leaders to be on board with it. The enthusiastic cooperation of leaders cannot be overstressed for a paradigm shift toward a solarpunk future to succeed."

    [UPDATE: after receiving some other ID suggestions I am more certain of the ID - a different genus & likely species, the Curved Pebble Bee (Dianthidium curvatum)]
