The document discusses the decline in bee populations due to pesticide use, global warming, and colony collapse disorder, a phenomenon that randomly kills bees. Without bees, humanity would not survive for more than 4 years as bees are needed to pollinate many fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. The bee population is decreasing the most in the US Midwest and California Central Valley regions. The document recommends planting bee-friendly flowers, avoiding pesticides, buying local honey, providing water sources, and becoming beekeepers to help address the declining bee populations.
