Help Save the Bees

The decline of the bee population has gone way too far.  There are misconceptions about how bees are good for the environment and people are not as aware so it is important to understand more of what is happening to them so we can help and protect them. There are fewer and fewer good places for bees to land.  I read that technicians are trying to use robots to spread pollen with tiny arms.  If they are resorting to such things there must really be a big problem and I want to help make sure there are less misconceptions and more things done that help bees and the environment.  Someone shared an article with me that gave 8 suggestions on how we can help the bee population and I would like to share them with you:

1)  Plant bee friendly plants.  Pollen is a provider of needed protein for the larvae and nectar is needed to make honey.
2)  Support local Beekeepers in buying their honey and products.
3)  Avoid using pesticides for they are harmful to bees.
4)  Keep a water supply for the bees available, even if it is just setting out a bowl of water.
5)  Sponsor a hive
6)  Protect swarms.  If you see a swarm call authorities who will take them to a safe place.
7)  Spread awareness to others
8)  Start you own hive
