Life on earth depends on the pollinators. It's real simple no bees the whole collapses. More serious than global warming but not given the press.

Simone and Frances Reiss are correct! Congress has continued to ignore this grave problem for at least a decade! The demise of honey bees is indeed a greater priority than global warming (albeit global warming is also a huge concern)! Crops for human and livestock consumption (much less wildlife's) are in grave danger without the honey bees! If global starvation occurs due to the demise of honey bees, no amount of money in the bank will matter!

We have destroyed so many of our ecosystem since the Industrial Age started. Can't we care not to endanger more? Everything on this planet has some sort of function, even the pesky fly. Start getting rid of one species, and you have started a chain reaction that you cannot imagine.

it continues to surprise me that this gets so little attention. just because it may seem unimportant doesn't mean that it is, and it should really be a no brainer that we should be giving this issue greater priority.

This just reaffirms what I've said all along.If we don't respect the Earth,and all the creatures on it,than,if Earth dies,we all die.Period.Earth's delicate balance is in danger I feel,and if more damage is done,than if it gets to the point where we can't stop it,than it's too late.

My fave honey is no longer in the store,I wonder if they had a colony collapse..

Almost all fruits and many veggies and nuts will just be gone.

Noted sadly, thank you Simone.

Simone if the insects and animals start being extinct we'll be next,rest assure! I'll like to know when we'll get the wake up call.
