Bees pollinate a significant majority of the world's food,
but they are disappearing at an alarming rate.
The mysterious mass death of honeybee populations is called
Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Neonicotinoid pesticides weaken
the bee's immune system and cause disorientation, damaging the
bee's ability to find its way back to the hive. Other toxic
pesticides, such as glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup,
also contribute to CCD.
You can help protect bees by choosing organic food, grown
without these toxic insecticides, and planting bee friendly
gardens.
