Bees

The four year crisis of disappearing honeybees is deepening.  A recent federal study shows that there was a heavy bee die-off this winter.

 A huge percentage of our world needs bees to survive. We can’t just say "who cares about the bees?" because bees are such an important part of life. There is an entire eco system and food chain that is interconnected - if we change one thing it affects the whole system.

Often times we think that as long as something doesn't affect me or my house, or my block, or my universe, all is well. But eventually all of the things we think are not affecting us, do affect us! We need to pick our heads up out of the sand and see that everything happening around the world will eventually impact our personal universe.

We need to start making the connection between global issues and the quality of our personal lives.  No one should ever say that something "doesn't affect me", because it does - both directly and indirectly.
