Predating the divergence of primates from other mammals by close to 40 million years, the origin of bees has been pivotal to the proliferation of the grand web of life in general for the past ~124 million years.
Earliest human references of interactions with bees - estimated to be going on for at least 10,000 years - were recorded not long after the emergence of agriculture; highlighting their significance to the fate of human civilizations.
Triggered by industrialization and accelerated by technology, the wanton exploitation of Earth's natural resources, unbridled population growth, ever-increasing forms, magnitude and noxiousness of pollution, and the widening disconnect between human and nature - both materially and intellectually - have greatly imperiled the future of bees.
Take a stand for Bees today!
