Its that time of year again! When little lambs are born, and everything turns green again and the lands are full of color.

Save the Bees

By Alicia Singleton

Bee’s are one of the most helpful little beings for agriculture in the world. A single bee colony can pollinate three-hundred million flowers each day. Bee’s also pollinate about seventy percent of the one-hundred top food crops, which is about ninety percent of the world's nutrition. There’s around twenty-five thousand known species of bees worldwide, and four thousand species in the United States. However, the bee species as a whole are dying due to a number of things that are mostly human related.

Pollination is vital to life on our planet. Bee’s have helped ensuring food security, nutrition, maintaining biodiversity, maintaining vibrant ecosystems for plants, keeping humans and the bees themselves alive. They are essential to production of many of the micronutrient rich fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and oils we eat. In fact, close to seventy-five percent of the world’s producing fruits and seeds for human consumption depend, at least in part, on pollinators for sustained production.
