Many of you may not have heard this, but the honeybee population has been
rapidly decreasing over the last 7 years. While many theories have
been formed as to why this is happening, we finally may have found the
problem. This problem may bee nicotinoids; many crop seeds are
coated with these chemicals, and it has been found that on one corn
kernel alone there is enough chemicals to kill 10,000 bees. This a real
threat to the world's food source, as out of the top 100 major food crops,
71 require bees and to pollinate them. You may say,
"This is all very well, but what can I do?" The answer is, you can raise
awareness of this terrible threat by telling all of your friends about
this problem.
