Dance of the Bees

What wonderful creatures the bees are.  What other creature gives more than it takes.  Tirelessly they work all day to fertilize and take home the fruits of their labours to the hive.  Whole populations of humans would collapse without their endeavors.  Crop failures and starvation would ensue their demise.  Yet these little creatures are in danger.  Hive failures are endemic in the USA.  Overpopulation and environmental pressures will not help their cause.
Growing bee loving plants is the best we can do on an individual level and hope that humans wake up before it is too late.
