Honey Bee Print
10” x 8”
This industrious, iconic insect gives humans so much in the way of their honey, pollen and irreplaceable work as pollinators. They are severely threatened due to the use of toxic pesticides, destruction of habitat and lack of forage due to monocultures.
The most worrisome threat is the agricultural use of toxic chemicals which have been found to short-circuit bees' memory and navigation. To make maters worse, the EPA has approved the use of the bee-killing pesticide sulfoxaflor. Without bees and other pollinators, coffee, apples, almonds, tomatoes and cocoa to name just a few of the crops would be wiped out.
