Just recently, bees became the newest addition to endangered species list causing increased concern over the vitality of our ecosystems if the humble insect were to be eradicated altogether. While few news organizations have written about the placement of bees on the list, one…

Clothianidin now banned as a pesticide in New York, is still used as a coating on corn seeds. Beekeepers have noticed a decrease in bee populations where a corn field is planted near by.

Beekeepers continue to report hive losses each year. This means that pollinating insects have been on a steep decline for many reasons. The bees must be helped now, especially since 90% of the world’s nutrition is pollinated by bees (Green Peace, n.d.). The decline in pollinators worldwide over the…
