Our pollinators are going extinct because we are poisoning them. Without bees, who will pollinate our food and the beauty of gardens? This link has the outlook for them. Also, many chemicals banned in the U.K. and Europe are still slaughtering bees in the US.

It is only females who go out and collect pollen. Hence by each HER own way. The males stay in the hive servicing the queen and caring for the larvae. Only the queen bears young. The queens eat what is called Royal Honey. Only the queens. Queens start out like any other female bee. But, when a new queen is needed, two female larvae will be fed on royal honey. They grow enormous. And both are queens. One has to kill the other. The victor is the new queen.
