Bees are incredibly important to our ecosystem. Without them, we cannot survive. Bees help pollinate plants to make our diets nutritious and delicious. To many, they may feel like they are a pest by being in our spaces but we NEED them to survive.
Dave DIY | 4th of July Fireworks — Keeping your Pets Safe & Secure
The Fourth of July holiday
is quickly approaching, and with it comes Fourth of July fireworks and fears. While pyrotechnic extravaganzas are fun for us to watch, our pets feel a bit differently. Bright lights, ear splitting sounds, and acrid smells in the air are terrifying to our furry friends. Many pets are lost each July when fireworks cause them to panic and run away, trying to escape the spectacle. Others cower in closets or under beds shaking with fear. For some dogs, the fear stays with them long after the fireworks stop and they are reluctant to leave the house to go for walks.

Bushwick Daily | Why It’s Time to Finally Get Renter’s Insurance
Renter’s Insurance helps protect your stuff whether you’re at home or on the go. For many transient Brooklyn residents, signing up for a policy falls somewhere between scheduling a dentist appointment and finally organizing your sock drawer: you know you should do it but somehow never get around to it.
I’ve lived in my apartment for nearly a year and a half and still hadn't taken the plunge, until I found Lemonade. They offer Renters Insurance, which is extremely worth getting to protect everything you own, in the space you don’t. This includes your laptop (which will be covered even if it’s stolen at a coffee shop or on vacation—their policy covers personal property anywhere in the world), your jewelry, your art, your furniture and more.
