Bees

Saving Our Bees

Why are bees worth saving

Bees are worth saving because they help with our food supplies. They pollinate our

crops which help them grow. Without bees it will be much harder for humans to grow plant's.

Why they are going extinct

On  bee farm’s the bees have been dying out. One of the reasons is because the hive’s are getting too cold. Another reason is because Varroa mite’s has been going around killing off colonies directly and spreading deadly disease's.

What we can do to help the bees

Try eliminating garden pesticides

Pesticides are bad for humans, especially for bees. Moving in the direction of organic gardening and natural lawn care is a healthy choice, in any case.

Let your veggies bolt
