Letterpress greeting cards series#

One out of every three bites of food are dependent on honey bees for pollination, so government action is critical to help the colonies recover. In the United States alone, the bees’ contribution is valued at over $15 billion, and this vital industry is on the verge of collapse. Why you should care: Of the 100 crops that provide 90% of the world’s food supply, over 70 of those crops are pollinated by bees. The problem started in the mid 2000’s and is known as “Colony Collapse Disorder,” and researchers believe that pesticides, habitat loss, pathogens and immune system damage are factors that may be causing the collapse. Here’s the problem: Honey bees are in trouble - colonies have been collapsing mysteriously and adult bees are disappearing.
