1 million bees dead!

[Catherine]

I feel sick about the bee deaths because I like bees. I don't really eat fruit. All the berries that grow in my garden are for the birds.

We need to retrain people in their attitude towards bees. I said something to someone about not killing a bee and they said why not? They actually do not know why they shouldn't kill a bee. I doubt they would be bothered by the death of a million bees.

I can't take in the idea of a million bees dead. It is too big a number. I think I can grasp it if I think of it as the number of hives lost.
The number of bees that have died each year globally must be horrific.

I feel this need to plant more bee friendly plants. In my mind it is like sand bagging a rising river. I hope it is enough, but I have an edge of fear that it is not.
