Lynn sent this link and information awhile back and I've been meaning to pass it along.  In the garden the other day, I was happy to see a fair number of honey bees and it reminded me to make this post.

Join the cause to help save the honey bees whose lives are in danger worldwide at helpthehoneybees.com.  The following information is compliments of Haagen-Dazs:

Here are a few bee facts to get you started:

1. Honey bees are responsible for pollinating one-third of all the foods we eat, including many of our favorite fruits, nuts and vegetables.

2. Alarmingly, more than 25 percent of the Western honey bee population has disappeared over the last several winters, threatening our food supply and our way of life.

3. Many of the honey bee deaths are being attributed to a mysterious threat called Colony Collapse Disorder, which causes bees to suddenly leave their hive and die. Unfortunately, not much is known about this new threat.

4. Researchers are working to find a solution to Colony Collapse Disorder, but there are ways that we can all help the honey bees today. Learn more about bees and what you can do to help at helpthehoneybees.com.

Besides the important information, the website has amazing animation.  You can even design your own bee and send your own bee-mail.
