A world without honey bees would not be a world at all
Our bees are dying at a rapid rate.
Charles Darwin once said that “The life of man would be made extremely difficult if the bee disappeared.”
So it’s safe to say that Darwin, if he was still alive, would be more than a little concerned to know that over fifty per cent of the world’s honey bee population have died.
Why should you care? Because bees are responsible for pollinating 70 per cent of the world’s horticulture and agricultural crops, so without them we simply would not have fresh fruit and vegetables - in fact, we would all starve within five years, because nothing could be pollinated.
