Did you know that the population of bees has decreased by nearly 90% in less than 3 decades? [1] Even more concerning, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published a document in The Daily Journal of the United States Government listing 7 species of bees as endangered. [2] The species include Hylaeus mana, Hylaeus kuakea, Hylaeus hilaris, Hylaeus facilis, Hylaeus assimulans, Hylaeus longiceps, and Hylaeus anthracinus.

If you love coffee, avocados, strawberries and the balance of the ecosystem, such unfortunate developments should be a real source of concern. Why so? Read on to find out.

On the Verge of Extinction – Why You Must Care

As one of the greatest pollinators in the world, bees are critical to the structure of our ecosystem. The National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) notes that the extinction of bees would lead to the failure of 90% of wild plants and 30% of crops around the world. [3] Simply put, common plants such as berries, avocados, and millions of other plant species would become rare.

In an interview with CNN [4], Eric Lee-Mäder from the Xerces Society – a non-profit organization responsible for the petition to classify the bees as endangered – claimed that “Native pollinators in the US provide essential pollination services to agriculture which are valued at more than $9 billion annually.”

Take Action Now!
Although several factors contribute to the dwindling bee population, some common threats include climate change, pesticides, parasites, diseases, and loss of habitat. With the impending catastrophe from the loss of our bees, it’s about time we raise awareness. Protect bees – protect our flora! So, where do you stand?

😳 Tinnitus And Brain Health?

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises…

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...
