Save our Bees

Many publications have reported about the sudden die-off of honey bees, often referred to as CCD or Colony Collapse Disorder.

Yet for all this news coverage, it’s not clear what is causing the widespread death of these bees that are not only critical for honey production, but pollination of crops.

In fact, some sources suggest that bee pollination is responsible for one-third of America’s diet. Crops which rely heavily on bee pollination include almonds, apples, blueberries, melons, plums, avocados, cucumbers, pears, cranberries, cherries, kiwis, cauliflower, carrots, onions, celery and sunflowers.

Thus, an answer – and cure – needs to be determined soon.
