such sweet creatures, so peaceful, so organized, so altruistic. what a delight for the senses, the sight of the fuzzy little workers, zooming happily around the flowers.
and now they are quickly becoming extinct. Nearly forty percent of the country's bees have been dying, each year for the past two years. The problem is worsening in europe as well.
Its not even a matter of what they do for us. The selfishness of saving the bees for our own sake is no concern of the average american... they think bees are evil bugs. But for their own little sake, we must try to save them from the colony collapse disorder.
what can YOU do? plant flowers. get rid of your plastic lawns of grass, and grow wildflowers. Grow natural plants of your area, not just grass. Lawns are an act of aggression towards nature... there is nothing natural about monoculture. there should be diversity in all we do. please, people, save the bees.
that being said, let us now see what small minds shall attack this simple message of harmony with nature.
