Plant a Flower--Save the Honey Bees

A measurable worldwide percentage of hives and bees are gone. Give bees flowers, please.

Several years ago I was hired to assist in the writing of an academic research paper (for a California University} on the declining population of honey bees. The time and depth of my research left an impact. I love flowers anyhow, and now each spring I plant a 20 pound bag of "bird" sunflower seeds to give my neighbor bees something enticing to pollinate.

You are invited to read the items that resulted from about two months of intensive research. These are long academic articles, but pictures are included. I haven't proofread this in a while, but I was proud of the work I had done when I finished the assignment. Critiques are still appreciated

I recently viewed a documentary on the Pivot channel called "Vanishing of the Bees." My concern escalated as the program updated me on our honey bees in 2015.
