The greatest wildlife loss affecting our food supply is the honey bee.
We lose about 30% of the bee population a year now
Bee researchers first reported massive die-offs back in the 1990s caused mainly by insecticides on crops, loss of habitat, lack of nutrition and the effects of global warming. But the plight of the honeybee didn’t truly buzz into the national consciousness until the spring of 2013, when data revealed the average beekeeper had lost 45% of their colonies the previous winter to a mysterious phenomenon known as colony collapse disorder. Bees pollinate two thirds of our food crops and without them
we would have world starvation in a very short time.
