In the past few years, millions of bees have disappeared from their hives. More than just a honey matter, the lives of bees are connected to us and our ecosystems in more ways than we can count.
Actions
Bees play a central role in our food supply. Follow the National Resource Defense Council's track of Congressional hearings on the issue of vanishing honeybees, and the importance to take quick action to help beekeepers affected by the disorder to revive their hives so our crops can keep growing. Honey Bee Quiet aims to keep up with the latest news findings on the rapid honey bee population decline and to increase the honey bee population through best beekeeping practices. Get involved with the Pollinator Partnership -- learn about a series of projects to help people, plants and pollinators and bring more pollinators to your community!
