Sea turtle nesting season starts May 1. Lights out on the beach at night helps the female Turtles find the perfect spot to nest.

Following Westie

🌎❔Where’s Westie Wednesday❔🌎

Last week, Westie decided to take a short vacation and visit the mainland of North Myrtle Beach! While she was there, she did some shopping, got a turtle wax, and met up with some fans. Ahh, living the best life!

All jokes aside, this is a good example of how the location points are not 100% accurate. The location of the satellite overhead at the time of her surfacing can affect the exact point that is mapped out to us. So rest assured, Westie has remained in the water in the general vicinity of North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina this past week.

See you next week Westie!

🐝 Bumblebees don’t want to sting you.
Most of the time, these fuzzy pollinators are simply busy doing their job—collecting nectar and helping flowers grow. If a bumblebee feels threatened, it will often raise one of its legs as a gentle warning before ever thinking about stinging.
They’re known as the gentle giants of the garden, playing a huge role in pollinating plants and supporting the health of ecosystems. When we give them space, they quietly continue their important work.
✨ A calm bee is a busy bee.
🌼 Without bees, many flowers and foods would disappear.
🌍 Protecting pollinators helps protect our planet.
So if a bumblebee lands nearby, stay calm and let it be—it’s not interested in you, only in the flowers. 🐝💛

Sometimes what we call “weeds” are actually lifelines for nature.
In early spring, when flowers are still rare and the world is just waking up, tiny pollinators like bees search desperately for food. Those bright yellow dandelions we often pull out or destroy are not useless weeds — they are one of the first and most important sources of nectar and pollen.
Every small flower can mean survival for a hungry bee.
So before removing them, remember that these little blooms are helping keep nature alive, supporting pollinators, and protecting the balance of our planet.
Let the flowers grow. Let the bees eat. Let nature breathe. 🌍🌼🐝
