I read this morning that three million bees in one South Carolina bee farm died this week due to the Zika spraying. When I read the article, I remembered the post I wrote two years ago, We Need the Bees. In it, I included the link to an article where Whole Foods showed what their produce department would look like in a world without bees.
Such a tragic situation the Zika crisis is- for humans, bees and many other creatures. May a solution be found soon.

And that was just one bee farm. Think how much spraying they are doing. The bee population was beginning to show beginning signs of recovery but with this mosquito problem there is no telling what will happen.

Wow! I’ve never seen such close-ups of bees, except when they land on my arm or hand. I know that bees are very important to plants, due to cross pollination. Without them, there would be a lot less plant growth, thus, less food.
