Bees are dying in large numbers. They are THE connection between plants and pollination. The connection between crops and people. Insects can live without us, we can’t live without them.
Nature has her mysteries, breathtaking mind-blowers that leave us confused. What the hell is happening to the bees is a big one.
It’s a monster, ecologically speaking, because no one’s sure exactly why bees are dying like mad. It’s wildly important because bees are pollinators extraordinaire, unmatched in their ability to mate plants and support the Earth’s food cycle.
