Honey bee collapse threatens global food security
This is a debate that has been discussed for years , and introduced by Einstein, but not ever considered in as much depth as it has in the past couple years. As the article states "Almost a third of global farm output depends on animal pollination, largely by honey bees." The food that honey bees help provide is rich with minerals ,vitamins ,and anti-oxidants and are substantual to our food pyramid, yet the honey bees are dying rapidly....What we will do without them? That is a good question that scientists around the world have been scratching their heads over for quite a while now but in a nutshell here's my theory.........

I believe since honey bees are so crutial to not only the U.S ,but the entire globe we should treat them as the endangered animals they really are. We could set up laws and regulations protecting the honey bee making sure there is a fine for the ones killed.These fines would pay for a place were specalists could breed them so slowly but surely increase the population baby steps at a time.
