No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.” According to the United States Department of Agriculture, “about one-third of the human diet comes from insect-pollinated plants, and the honeybee is responsible for 80 percent of that pollination” (“NBC”).

Lots of the really sweet and tart stuff, too, including citrus fruit, peaches, kiwi, cherries, blueberries, cranberries, strawberries, cantaloupe and other melons” (“NBC”). We have to save the bees. Without them our agriculture will wither. Pesticides, predominately in colony collapse disorder, are the reason bees are dying. In order to rescue the honeybees from extinction it is important to understand what honeybees do, how they are dying out and how we can help them.
Understanding the function of the honeybee is important to their survival, as well as our own. Bees live in groups and make
With bees we have healthier hives and colonies, more fruits and vegetables, more flowers and gardens and meat. You can help by building a bee friendly garden that doesn’t use pesticides, keeping yourself informed about the bee population, sponsoring a hive, becoming a local beekeeper or supporting one, signing petitions to stop pesticide use and spreading the word about the plight of the honeybee (“HoneyBeeConservation/HelpSaveHoneyBees”). By supporting the bees, you are supporting a future rich of fruits and vegetables, honey and meat, even coffee and teas (“Accuweather”). Whether Einstein said it or not, bees are an important part of our ecosystem. Without them we would not
