Number four on AOL's New Years List of the top twenty-five things vanishing from America is the Honey Bee. A bit Amerio-centric since the honey bee, specifically the European Honeybee, the one which pollinates fruit and nuts and so many good things, is vanishing all over Europe too. The solution is to get after the Bayer drug company, stop pesticides, eliminate golf course fertilization, and generate a symbiosis between flowers and crops, bees and pollination. Remember to plant those wildflowers this spring. http://www.savethebeesshirts.com/ will be selling seeds. And Remember wear that Save the Bees Stuff or your blueberry pancakes will soon be vanishing as well, along with your Marzipan and all your berries.
"4. Honey Bees
Perhaps nothing on our list of disappearing America is so dire; plummeting so enormously; and so necessary to the survival of our food supply as the honey bee. 'Colony Collapse Disorder,' or CCD, has spread throughout the U.S. and Europe over the past few years, wiping out 50% to 90% of the colonies of many beekeepers -- and along with it, their livelihood."

I'm sure many, like me, have been concerned at the lack of honey bees. Thank you for your informative resource to broaden awareness of this major problem. My personal efforts will work synergistically with yours, here in Michigan, by freeing up more financial resources with which Michigan families and businesses may support your awesome personal efforts to help Save The Bees!
