    Bees are important, right? That seems to be the general consensus. But is it true? And should you still care even if you don’t eat honey. Phil argues that the answer is ‘yes’ and presents his top five reasons that explain just why bees are so important.

    Great Video and thanks for posting.
    Don't forget that all the Bumble Bees here came from Europe at some point in time,. If you get high winds while Queens are in flight its easy for them to be blown across.. Once I was at the coast and there where thousands and thousands of Lady Birds blowing in from across the sea and landing all over the beach. They where every where. It was an awesome site I will never forget. This is going back about 25 years or so.

      No worries. I just went to look online to see if any one had a any photos or footage of the Lady Birds coming across the sea to Bornmouth Beach and apparently we had an invasion in 1976 on another beach as well. I will try and see if I can find some one with footage of the one 25 years ago. There was a guy who works for Strattford Butterfly Farm who was there at the time. Not sure if he still works there though. I do remember him taking pictures.

    Bees are important! But are honey bees? Honey bees are farm animals that are bred and kept to convert natural resources into food for humans. From a capitalist point of view, that's definitely a plus. But what evidence suggests that honeybees, which in most cases are not even native species, are good for our biodiversity? Why are invasive species villains, but honey bees which equally competing with native species are ecological heroes? If one wants to help nature, one should expand the shrinking amount of natural habitat and not use this very limited habitat to our human benefit by using honeybees.
