From fruits and vegetables to nuts, our fuzzy little friends help ’em grow. The local nonprofit organization Beyond Toxics is hosting an event dedicated to its Save Oregon’s Bees campaign at Silvan Ridge Winery on Thursday, August 3. The event is called Bee Jazzy and will have music by the Halie Loren Jazz Trio and the Dana McWayne Quartet as well as a silent auction featuring jewelry from Portland artists and tasty eats from local food carts All Thai’d Up and Navarro’s Latin Creole Kitchen. Insecticides and other causes have led to the deaths of numerous bees, according to Beyond Toxic’s website. “Pollinators are essential for Oregon’s vibrant agricultural sector, supporting over $600 million of insect- pollinated crops grown by Oregon farmers each year,” according to Beyond Toxic. Bee Jazzy is a way to help save the bees all while relaxing with a glass of wine in hand. — Meerah Powell Bee Jazzy is from 5:30 pm to 9:30 pm at Silvan Ridge Winery (27012 Briggs Hill Rd.) on Thursday, August 3.
