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.
