Save the bees..."If the bees die then humanity will follow " said Albert Einstien. Honey bees pollinate approximately $10 billion worth of crops in the United States each year (Watanabe, 1994). However, of the hundred or so crops that make up most of the world's food supply, only 15% are pollinated by domestic bees, while at least 80% are pollinated by wild bees and other wildlife (Prescott-Allen and Prescott-Allen, 1990; Ingram et al., 1996a; See also Buchmann and Nabhan, 1996).
