Help save our Bee's

Image
One of nature's best relationships, is that of bee's and the plants.  It's thought to be million of years old.  Plants have cleverly adapted themselves since then.  Flowers developed a sweet smell even the leaves changed to attract  the bees and other insects to visit. The aim was to make it  easier for their pollen to be transferred.   It's hard to believe that something that we don't consider to be sentient, can be so intelligent.   Bee's are important crop pollinators, which is why it's important for commercial agriculture to be aware of which pesticides kill or harm them.   Pesticides are one part of the reason for the decrease of bee's in our country and worldwide. There is a thought that if a pesticide can kill bees, then it can harm humans and other animals as well.  The health of bees in the area are used as a gauge of health of the environment.
