In March and April, the Rhododendron (Buransh) flowers bloom in the Himalayas, particularly in Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh, India, creating breathtaking vistas. Villagers in the hamlet of Jot, situated at over 8,000 feet, collect these organic blooms to dry them for pharmaceutical and medicinal tea production. The vibrant red petals against the blue skies provide a stunning visual contrast, as captured in a recent photo essay by local photographer Kanwar Pal Singh. He reflects on the seasonal changes and the integral role these flowers play in the community's life. Meanwhile, the decline of bee populations due to human actions raises concerns for biodiversity. In Chandigarh, unlicensed youths remove beehives, neglecting the crucial role bees play in pollination. Artist Luci Jockel addresses this issue by creating art from ethically sourced bee wings, memorializing the decline of these vital pollinators. Her work serves as a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of human and animal life and the fragility of our ecosystem.
