D(JPG, 17KB)id you hear the €˜buzz'? Whole Foods Market is helping Fosterfields save its bees, and you can help by simply buying groceries.
Please remember to stop by Whole Foods Market in Morristown or Madison tomorrow, Tuesday, April 4, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Whole Foods Market will donate 5 percent of net sales to the Morris County Park Commission's Fosterfields Living Historical Farm in Morris Township.

The €˜buzz' about this 5 Percent Day is that the funds will be used for a honeybee initiative that complements the historic beehives that were established on this farm by the original owners. It also will help support national and local efforts to save the honeybees.
The initiative includes planting a flower garden to provide the habitat for newly established beehives. The new garden and beehives will be incorporated into several Park Commission programs to be offered to educate people about bees and the food cycle.
Please spread the word to friends and family, and help make this fundraiser a stinging success! Please share on Facebook and Twitter, and with neighbors and organizations.
