This may not seem like a big deal at first glance. But look at this two ways: First, pollinating insects contribute $24,000,000,000 to the US economy annually through their vital role in keeping fruits, nuts, and vegetables in our diets. So, if youre worried about the economy, there you go. Second, there are 115 main food crops that you eat. Honey bees enable the production of 90 of those in the States through pollination. If you remove honey bees from the equation, our food will disappear within one growing season. Its a BIG deal that the White House is taking steps to address the diminishing populations of honey bees and other pollinating insects. Lets hope that the morons in Congress who arent scientists, but think they know better than those that are, dont obstruct this.
