Gemini Season by Crystal Kearns Say hello to Gemini season as we welcome the first air sign of the zodiac calendar! After Taurus’ season of familiarity and ease, it’s time to shake it up with a little fun. From May 21st to June 20th, life starts to pick up its pace after a few weeks of comfort and content. This means something different for each sign— for an air sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), you’re ready to take on what needs taking on. The rest of the signs, however, may be taking on what they need to with a little less fervor as they try and keep up. Don’t let this scare you, though. Mercury rules Gemini and is on our...

Where other insects may make their own contributions, few are as crucial to life on Earth as bees, who are often overlooked despite the fact that they play an essential role in food production.
