Ever wonder why bees exist? Do you ever think 'why don't they all just die off?'
I'll tell you why.
Bees are an extreme part of why we are all alive. Without bees, we won't have grapes, tomatoes, cocoa, cherries, apricots, avacados, apples, lemons, limes, squash, canola, kiwis, and so many more important foods.
Why am I telling you this?
There has been a recent outbreak in a pesticide on crops that bees have been consuming. When the bees consume this pesticide, it kills them. The government supports the pesticide and we feel that this is wrong.
Without bees, the human population cannot live more than 4 years. Since bees are responcible for 1/3 of the food we consume, we humans will not be able to live with the limited source we have left.
But you can help!
To help save the bees, you can start by signing this petition. If you want to help more, you can help by planting flowers that attract bees. You can also buy or build your own hives for bees to live in. And spread the word about saving them! The more people who know about this, the more we can do to help.
