We (The Pepper & Dylan Show) aren’t bee experts, but we have been seeing a lot of news on our worlds bee situation that worries us!

 

You may have heard this before:

“If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live.” — Albert Einstein (allegedly)

Right now 7 species of bees have been put on the list of endangered species by the federal register.

 

The reason this is being seen as such a serious situation, is due to the fact that bees are the main pollinators for us and are VITAL to our ecosystem.

 

So what Einstein said really holds some weight. Without bees the next species to go is plants that need pollinators, and so on.

According to one of our listeners, some places in China have already experienced the loss of bees, and now have an industry dedicated to carrying out pollination. Which means a butch of people literally do it by hand.

 

What can we do to help??

Well, STOP killing bees! They AREN’T trying to hurt you!

Plant more flowers!!! It’s not the best weather to do it right now, but the more flowers the better! If you do some research you’ll see that there’s lots of easy to keep bee friendly gardens you can plant. 

Refrain from spraying pesticides! 

If you REALLY want, it also helps to leave your clovers and dandelions alone. Bees love them :)  

 

If you know any other ways to help please let us know!!

 

And lastly, if you really only had 4 years after the bees, whats the first thing you do?
