Bees play a very important part of our lives, and most of us don't even realize it. Bees pollinate about 80% of the world!
Another thing a lot of people don't realize is that bees are dying at an unsettling rate. The number of bee colonies has declined by 90% per hectare (107639 square feet) since 1962. Bees are being killed by multiple overlapping threats such as pesticides, insufficient food supply, herbicides, and diseases and parasites.
