At first, when I saw this mural on Queen East, I thought “Gorgeous”!
Artist: Nick Sweetman
Immediately thereupon, I wondered why the artist had a clock set at 11:00, & gears in the mural with the bees?
Artist: Nick Sweetman
Then it hit me!
Bees, & all pollinators are dying off due to pesticides & herbicides. It is their 11th hour. After discussing this with Marina Kanavaki, she made up her April’s clock read 11:00 for this post.

On Art Towards A Happy Day Marina spreads the importance of all life on the planet. If you click on her clock, bees will fly you to its original “Diamond Four” artwork.

I feel it is nature adding her own poetry. (blows up nicely)

When I looked across the street, I saw that the clock & a bee were reflected in the windows of a library.

I see time & the bee, melting …. fading away.

Let me start at the beginning, in the past, as shown below in an olden days Corktown image.

The car above is to the left of the streetcar mural, and part of the mural in its entirety. (Thank you sun for the interesting shadow).
Artist: Gary Smith
However, as I close in onto the elements within this impressionistic work of Street Art, I don’t care about the shadow, or the heavy traffic whipping by.

It is an alluring piece of art, and perfect to thank Frank for his contributions to Kids’ Month.

“I love to sniff the plants and trees in the garden; they all have a different scent. I often see bees, butterflies, and even hummingbirds on the flowers.”
Artist: Caitlin Taguibao
“I recently learned that these are important pollinators. Without them we would not be able to grow most fruit and vegetables.”
Artist: Caitlin Taguibao
“Pesticides kill pollinators and are bad for us too; that’s why we don’t use pesticides in our backyard. Better be safe than sorry.”
Artist: Caitlin Taguibao
“Here we are in front of a banana tree, showing the fruit as well as carrots. There are lots of vitamins in the bananas and carrots. The good news is that these are so tasty that we enjoy eating healthy in between meals.”
