Save the Bees is an advocate slogan that has been coined in the last de- cade due to the fact that climate change is having an unfortunate effect on the bee populations around the world. As harsher and warmer conditions cause extinctions, it drives the populations of both plants and insects north. However, bees are dying at an alarming rate without exact answers and no definite source, causing a decline in the pollination of crops. This can be detrimental to state that rely primarily on farming. The systemic nature of this crisis makes it dif- ficult, but not irreversible. Another threat to bees is chemicals in pesticides. 56/57

Bee pollinators play a main role in preserving biodiversity. Biodiversity is vital to a func- tioning ecosystem, which include services that control the health of our land, water, and the air we breathe. Some examples of ecosystem services include erosion protec- tion, detoxification,climate stability, regula- tion of disease, and soil health preserva- tion. Pollinators are considered “keystone species,” meaning they have an extremely large impact on biodiversity and ecosys- tem function compared to other species.
