Have you heard about the honeybee crisis? How the bees are disappearing from their hives at alarming rates? You can learn all about the situation here at Help the Honeybees.

If you are thinking this is no big thing, that who cares about a bunch of stupid bees, anyway, you are wrong. Bees are vital. Think about this:
+ One out of every three bites an average American takes is directly attributed to honeybee pollination!
+ Albert Einstein predicted that the human race could survive only four years without bees!
+ Over a third of U.S. hives have been abandoned by the bees!
and
+ Hello! Honey comes from bees. Sticky, delicious honey.
There is a very important point to all this and that is the sweet way that you can help. Next time you are at the market, pick up a pint of Vanilla (!!) Honey Bee ice cream. A portion of the proceeds is going to help the honeybees. In fact, a large portion of the money is coming to the UC Davis Honey Bee Research Facility.
{You can also help save the bees with Burt’s Bees Lip Balm, Help Bees Get Busy t-shirts, or by joining The Great Sunflower Project.}
