Our Pollinators

Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, moths and more are all types of pollinators. You may think that they fly around doing nothing, but they actually do more than you might think. Unfortunately, pollinators are dying out very quickly. Not only do we get honey from them, we also get chocolate, coffee, and over 4000 different vegetables. If pollinators die out, think of what will happen. No tomatoes, no carrots, no CHOCOLATE!! And adults, think of if this happened…. No COFFEE!! In 2006, many beekeepers noticed that their bees were rapidly dying out. Nobody knows exactly why, but we have a few reasons about why this phenomenon may be happening. Many pesticides are harmful to bees, and pollution has also caused pollinators to die. Recently, scientists have observed that huge colonies of bees have been dying in large numbers, and this is called Colony Collapse Disorder. Of all animals, bees are the most effective pollinator. So remember, if you want your chocolate and coffee, don’t kill the bees!
