I was asked to do a project on some specie that was facing the threat of extinction... I thought of going ahead with the Blue Whale. So I decided to plunge into a full fledged research on the internet. Something made me search for endangered species. Something unexpected caught my eye out of the blue. There quite a few links on Honey Bees being an endangered specie!!
I immediately went through the information available. It stated that they face the threat due to climate change, insecticides...to name a few. We don't realize how important they are for our survival. National Geographic states that honey bees are directly responsible for one-third of the food we eat. They actively take part in pollination. They are responsible for the food we eat. We are already facing food crisis round the planet. With the honey bees out of the picture...we don't need to have much creativity to foresee what will happen. As citizens of the Blue Planet, we must realize that Earth is not only for us to occupy. We have to share it with other creations remembering that unknowingly they make life comfortable for us.
So let us save the honey bees!
