In this episode of the Transformation Cafe, host Robin Masiewicz and regulars Jamie and Gloria discuss the alarming decrease in the bee population and what we can do about it. Robin mentions Marla Spivak’s TED talk which we’ve embedded below.
Bees are the most important pollinators of our fruits and vegetables and flowers and crops like alfalfa hay that feed our farm animals. More than one third of the world’s crop production is dependent on bee pollination.
In the United States, an average of 30 percent of all bee hives are lost every winter. About 20 years ago,we were at a 15-percent loss. So it’s getting precarious.- Marla Spivak
If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man. – Albert Einstein
CNN is airing an episode of Inside Man with Morgan Spurlock called “Honey Bee-Ware”. Below is a teaser for the show airing in March 2015.
Not only are bees crucial for maintaining our fruits and vegetables and flower crops, but bees produce a powerful superfood. Raw honey is one of nature’s richest superfood sweeteners, containing over 80 health giving components. This is unprocessed honey that is pure, unfiltered, and unheated, embodying the natural bouquet of flower pollination with a potent source of nutritional elements.
