Things you can do to help save bees

If we do not save honey bees what happens when all the honey bees disappear?

  If the honey bee disappears we will lose much of our world food supply.

We should help save honey bees because while grains do not require honey bees to flourish, virtually all of our non-grain foods are dependent on honey bee pollination to a large degree. Worldwide, there are 90 different food plants that depend almost exclusively on the honey bee. In the USA honey bees are considered critical pollinators of many fruits, nuts and vegetables. Your own diet will be changed dramatically if we lose our honey bees.
