Do you know how important bees are? As far as species go, they are at the TOP of the list. They are critical POLLINATORS. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from one place to another. This is how plants reproduce. The bees, eating or collecting pollen for nutrition, make this transfer happen as they go from flower to flower. They pollinate 70 of the roughly 100 crop species that feed 90% of the world. Can you imagine life without fruits and vegetables? Let’s hope it never comes to that and let’s protect our bees if we get the chance!!

I was dangerously allergic to bees as a child, and even had an epi pen. However, it is possible to outgrow allergies and I was lucky to outgrow this one, because I love bees. Here are some sites to visit to get more information!
