As an organic sustainable grower and landscaper, our company recognizes the vast importance and absolute necessity to the eco system the honeybee and other pollinators are. The fast declining population of bees at a rate of 34% of reported bee-colony deaths in 2010 by the Dept of Agriculture, and an even higher rate of declining bumblebees, should be highly alarming to all of us, as a vast number of crops that feed the population are dependent on these crops.
