"Mere Shadow of Her Former Self"
Imagine a world without honey bees. My sister lives in Northern Michigan, not too far from Traverse City .TC is known for its cherries and its National Cherry
Festival held each Spring. http://www.cherryfestival.org/ She told me that this year Spring came about a
month early. Cherry trees blossomed and
all seemed great except....it was too early for the bees. There were no bees to pollinate the
blossoms. Consequently, there were no
cherries. Traverse City had to import cherries for its
festival. Imagine that.To learn more about bees and what life would be like without
them go tohttp://www.haagendazs.us/Learn/HoneyBees/
