Honey Bees in the U.S. are dying at an alarming rate. Greenpeace says the systemic nature of the problem makes it complex, but not impenetrable. Scientists know that bees are dying from a variety of factors—pesticides, drought, habitat destruction, nutrition deficit, air pollution, global warming and more. Many of these causes are interrelated. The bottom line is that we know humans are largely responsible for the two most prominent causes: pesticides and habitat loss. Honeybees are responsible for 80% of the worlds pollination; Seventy out of the top 100 human food crops — which supply about 90 percent of the world’s nutrition — are pollinated by bees! Bee loss affects EVERYONE!
