Not to be a buzz kill, but the honeybees are in danger of extension. And that's a big deal since they pollinate one-third of the crops we eat. What can you do to help save the bees. Make Art!
Did you know:
That in the year 2035 the world's population of honeybees will cease to exist if they continue to decline at the present rate.
25% of the honeybee population vanished in 2007. Scientist are calling the problem Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). No one cause has been identified, though viruses, malnutrition and pesticides are all suspects.
1/12 tsp is how much honey the average worker bee makes in a lifetime. The decline means the sticky stuff's prices have risen 14% since 2005.
