It's been reported that Albert Einstein once said, "If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only have four years of life left."
Whether or not the mathematical genius said such an alarming sentence has never been confirmed nor denied, but that doesn't make the statement itself any less true. If we wish to continue our current way of life, with plentiful food and happiness, the bee population needs to be regarded as a higher priority.
There have been incredible losses in bee diversity, over 50% of Midwestern native bees have simply disappeared, and three species of bumblebees are believed to already be extinct. While it may seem unimportant at the moment, this insect is an absolute necessity to our ecosystem and to America's continued survival as a world power, and even as a country.
Without bees to pollinate our crops, it's a very real possibility that our food supply could begin to fail, starting a far-reaching problem with unimaginable consequences. We depend on bees for 1/3 of our food, and without them, prices could rise and we could even face famine!
However, there is something we can all do to help save our friendly bees! And it's a lot simpler than you could ever imagine…
