The Honey Bee Why are all the Honey

The Honey Bee

Why are all the Honey Bees Dying? ●Lots of toxins accidentally sprayed on bees ●New mites scientists haven’t studied yet. ●Bees being transported ●Lower immune

Four reasons pesticides are bad for bees: 1. Chemical Companies Approve Their Own Pesticides 2. "Big Ag, " with Chemical Henchmen, Control the USDA 3. "Stacking" Makes Poisoning More Potent 4. Fungicides: The Breakfast of Champions? Pesticides Cause 50% of the population that are exposed, to die.

Varroa mites, tiny tick-like creatures, have infested beehives around the world (approximately 40 times actual size)

SOLUTIONS? -use less toxins -find out how to destroy the mite and bugs -make more bee hives

Conclusion: if we get rid of mites and use less toxins, and create more beehives, we have more bees!

Save the Bees!!!
