Bees often get a bad rap, but they are vital to our ecosystem. Responsible for pollinating 33% of the world’s food, bees help feed 90% of the population. Unfortunately, their numbers have decreased by one-third in the last five years, and if they disappear, humans may only have four years left to live, according to Sir David Attenborough.

While a single person can’t solve everything, small actions can make a difference. Attenborough suggests a simple but effective way to help: if you find a tired bee, mix two tablespoons of sugar with one tablespoon of water and place it on a spoon to help revive it. It’s a simple act that can make a huge difference in supporting bee populations.

We all have a responsibility to protect the environment for future generations, and every effort counts. Let’s work together to preserve the world we live in.
