Bees do so much for us...let's do something for them.

Bees play a vital role in our world: they are pollinators and this means that the survival of many plant species depends on them (and, in the lower part, on bumblebees). 
In Einstein's opinion, if bees were to become extinct, man would only have four years left to live. 

Here are plant species that depend on the work of the bees: apricot tree, chestnut tree, cherry tree, almond tree, apple tree, pear tree, peach tree, plum tree, persimmon tree, kiwi tree, raspberry, cabbage, blueberry, garlic, asparagus, chard, carrot, broccoli, cucumber, melon, leek, onion, celery, pumpkin, zucchini, eggplant, pepper, radish. 

We are endangering bees by using chemicals contained in pesticides, the neonicotinoids, which kill them. Each year in the world 3.8 billion kilos of pesticides are used. 
It is imperative for us to safeguard them and to do it we have to ban neonicotinoids from agriculture.
