Yep. The term \u2018busy bees\u2019 is actually grounded in truth.\u00a0 Without bees, we would lose a huge amount of the nutritious food we eat today, including fruits, nuts and many vegetables. Unfortunately, these hard workers have taken a bit of a hit &#8211; due to human impact, species extinction rates are currently 100 to 1,000 times higher than normal.<\/p>\n<p>And seeing as bees can\u2019t form unions, it\u2019s up to us humans to step in and help them out.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why May 20 has been made the official World Bee Day &#8211; A day about spreading awareness of the importance of bees and taking action to help keep them around. Here are 3 things you can do to help out on World Bee Day:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Buy raw honey from local farmers<\/li>\n<li>Plant a diverse set of native plants, which flower at different times of the year<\/li>\n<li>Do some DIY &#8211; make a homemade bee water fountain, all you need is to leave a water bowl outside, decorate it however you want.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even if you just choose one or two things, it all helps. Take a picture of how you\u2019re helping out on World Bee Day and share it on social media to help spread awareness of how much we need bees.<\/p>\n<p>Want to make more of a difference?
