About 52% of our food is dependent on the pollination of bees. The estimated value of honey bees to Canadian agriculture is $1.3 billion per year.
Bees are under threat due to our excessive use of insecticides. We've already lost 35% of our honeybee colonies. For more info and donations see Save Our Bees - Canadian Honey Council .
