Bee populations are declining. The concerns are that bees support up to $20 billion world’s crop production. In Colorado, for instance, beekeepers have reported losing 30 percent of honeybee colonies each winter. According to National Geographic, bee colonies have been disappearing rapidly for the past 15 years all over the world. The decline in the population of bees could only mean one thing: it is only a matter of time before crop production starts declining too.

One factor that has lead to the bees’ disappearance is a condition known as colony collapse disorder. Symptoms of this disorder include malnutrition, the use of pesticides, absence of genetic biodiversity, and climate change. Saving the bees is critical, as they are a crucial asset of the agricultural system. Without bees, there would be no almonds, strawberries, and alfalfa for farmers to feed their cows.

Here are some of the ways you can help save the bees.

If you’ve ever been stung by a bee, you may think that these insects are more of a nuisance than an asset to humans. However, honeybees are the fuel that drives our economy. These hardworking insects are responsible for the growth of $15 billion worth of food crops every year in the U.S alone, while producing $150 million worth of honey annually.

Through pollination, honeybees facilitate the growth of local Florida crops such as cucumbers, apples, and watermelons- in addition to pollinating almonds, berries, and citrus fruits across the country.

The unfortunate news is that the honeybee population is shrinking at an alarming rate. Colonies across the globe are disappearing and never coming back- with scientists struggling to figure out why this is the case. This is why you should become involved in efforts that help save your local honeybee population.

There are many simple things you can do to help local honeybees thrive. Read on to find out.

1. Give them more places to live
