We've all heard that the
bees are vanishing but what does this mean for us? With no bees it will cause problems for crops which in turn will create all kinds of crises in terms of food prices due to shortage. The article states the main cause is global warming, however use of pesticides and insecticides are also killing these integral flying insects.

But how can we help? You can
plant wildflowers in your garden, create a
bee waterer and if you have a vegetable patch learn about alternative methods of pest control that won't harm the bees (such as
companion planting) so you won't need to use man-made chemicals. Of course, having a greener lifestyle in general will help the bees to thrive by slowing down climate change.
