if we know why the bees are disappearing?

Great question! There are about 20,000 species of bees in the world, although most people just know about the honey bee (which isn’t native to the USA). Many of the 4,000 species of bees native to the US are declining, mostly due to habitat loss. Honey bees may be in decline as well, although research into why is on-going. But you can help! A backyard garden goes a long way to saving our pollinators.
