Atleast once a day I'm going to post a new fact, explain it, and give you a link to a more in depth explanation.
Due to disease rapidly spreading amongst the bee population, the fate of humanity also lies in the balance. This may sound a bit Hollywood to you, but it is a genuine concern.
The honey making stingers we all know to fear have been rapidly decreasing in numbers for quite a few years now, although the government hasn’t invested in enough research to get to the root, or solve, the problem.
Surely we can survive without honey though, right? Wrong. Bees do much more than produce honey, they maintain the very ecosystem that we live in. A lot of plants actually rely on honey bees to pollinate/reproduce, as bees take pollen from one flower to the next, they allow them to spread their seeds.
Without bees, a lot of species of plants cannot reproduce, this would result in a fatal drop in oxygen (because plants convert carbon dioxide to oxygen), and if you can’t figure out the rest from there, there’s no hope for us any way.
So next time a bee wanders into your house, try to let it live, it has more problems to deal with than headbutting windows.
