According to a recent report, bee biodiversity has rapidly plummeted over the last few decades. Beyond the withering of hundreds of flower fields, a variety of species, including humans, will suffer without bees. The thousands of bee species have unique flight patterns and floral preferences, and many have coevolved with flowers in such a way that their body sizes and behaviors almost perfectly complement the flowers they pollinate. Bees are vital for the pollination around the planet and the sake of biodiversity, therefore, it is crucial that humans take on the responsibility of preventing the extinction of bees.
