Welcome to The Bees Knees® website - TBK. What's it about? TBK is a carefully moderated (not censored) place we citizens can use to share good stuff about goal-driven systems and sustainability of our critical environment and ecosystems.

TBK brings value to you as citizens, parents, teachers and professionals with information about sustainability - including looking after bees, critical to our agriculture, gardens and parks - and how economics and politics can be understood and used to achieve your aims and goals. "Think Global, Act Local!". OK - but why, what, how and when...

TBK provides useful content and tools depending on how you want to work with them. Some examples:

• [Blogs] let us talk together about making TBK work better;
• [Wiki] allows teams to share information about their activities and projects;
• [Tiny URL] is a handy tool (first of a few) to make long-winded URLs into little ones that can be stored and used easily;
• [Feedback] lets you give feedback including pointing to good Internet sources, and books;
• [Club] introduces how we can work together;
• [Your Say] introduces how you can author comments, documents - even websites - to be hosted by TBK.

TBK delivers a range of useful resources and information, well structured around frameworks relating to two main threads, namely [1] economics and politics, and [2] sustainability.

[1] "Goals and Systems" is a systematic framework of how citizens can adopt a new economic and political paradigm to achieve common worthwhile goals including dealing with Climate Change sustainably. It provides a framework for rational debate.

[2] "Sustainability" is the philosophy and practice of treading lightly on our Earth, for our own benefit, and the benefit of our descendants. TBK provides useful information of how citizens can embrace sustainability: it ties in with the UN's Sustainability Development Goals, and our own initiatives. It provides a framework for debate AND focussed activities and projects.
