This website will show the importance of bees and the cause of their extinction as well as result of what may happen to our ecosystem without them. If the bee population becomes extinct, this will surely be highly dangerous to not only mankind but to all of nature. Honey bees are tremendously important to our country’s economic and agricultural stability. We hope you enjoy our website and we also hope that this information will motivate you to prevent this genocide from occurring.
