Did you know that bees are integrative and essential component for our food and environment?

What can we do?
1. Reduce the use of pesticides.
2. Control air pollution– Pollutants in the air can destroy the fragrance of flowers as well as curtail the bee’s ability to follow trails of scent.
3. Fruits, nuts, berries, almonds and watermelons depend on the pollination of honey bees. Researchers estimate that “one of every three bites of food rely upon the pollination of bees.”
