honey bees are disappearing at an alarming rate for some time now. what most people don't know is that these little bugs are not here just so we can all have sweet honey. we actually depend on them for one-third of our food supply. as usual the best way to help is to get informed and pollinate the idea! read about the crisis, make a donation and get tips on how to plant a garden here.

We watched Life last night. They had a bit where a brown bear cub tries to grab himself a honeycomb. They are fascinating, those bees. And I didn't know that so much of our food depends on them.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Elizabeth - I didn't know that 1/3 of our food supply relied on them either. Nice work, Haagen Dazs :)
ReplyDeleteHow sad!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this because I was not aware of this,
ReplyDeleteOff to read so I can know what this means for us.
Oh I know! Isn't it so sad? I can't imagine all the repercussions because of this. I'm happy to learn we can help do something about it.
ReplyDeletereally interesting!! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Just spoke with a dear friend who raises honeybees and he told me about another horrific pesticide the general public is using on their yards which is causing his bees to be born without wings and dying within hours. Tragic! We must make people aware....and they must listen.
ReplyDeleteGardening is one of our favorite things all summer - It's been concerning about the bees! I keep hearing this!

Wow didn't know that. We just watched Food Inc and that completely changed how I viewed so much of our food supply.
ReplyDeletedude. you are so right. i have heard about this crisis repeatedly for the last couple of years, but it doesn't seem like the problem has been fixed. IT IS ALARMING, to say the least.
ReplyDeleteI'm allergic to bees - so they kinda freak me out!
ReplyDeletethis issue makes me so sad! I love honey. Plus, oh I don't know, flowers and crops and vegetables hello!!!!! I suspect it's trickle-down related to climate...
