Right You Are, Even The Beekeepers Are Making Complaints About This Issue And They Seem To Blame Pesticides, Which Could Either Be The Main Problem, Or Only Half The Problem. There Has Been Word That African Killer Bees Are Invading And Even Killing Some Of The Honey Bee Colonies, And Then There's C.C.D Also Known As Colony Collapse Disorder, Which Could Be Caused By Any Of These Factors, And Don't Forget About Those Nasty Parasites That I Also Heard About!

It's not all bad news though; a lot of farmers, in Britain, have signed up to a policy of leaving strips at the edge of their fields to grow naturally. This gives the bees a chance to feed upon the flowers that they would prefer to but otherwise don't have access to.
Many farmers have reported that they are won over by this initiative and are in fact recording better crop yields.

I Love Bees, They're So Wonderful And They Help Put Food On The Table. Please Do Whatever You Can To Save Them, And See What Might Help Them Recover! The Thought Of Losing These Wonderful Insects Scares Me To Death, And I Hope You Can Help Solve This Problem As Soon As Possible! Please Spread The Word To Farmers, Ranchers, And Everyone Else Who Might Use Pesticides And Other Poisons That Could Be The Cause Of The Bee Decline! Bees Are Very Important To Us, And Without Them, It Will Be A Disaster For Our Crops!

Absolutely, it's a really serious issue that many either don't know about or simply don't realise how important it is.
