Honey bees are a major factor in the bio diverse world we live in today. They pollinate over 40% of the plants that make up the food we eat. Without them we would not see the wonderful plant life we do now. People need to "wake up" and realize that without these little creatures the world would not be what it is today. For that to happen some of the seasonal products need to disappear and honey prices to increase.

Most of the seasonal products that are popular are pollinated by bees. These products vary from fruits to vegetables and are bought by almost every household in the United States. Without the bees people would not be able to acquire these goods. Pollination makes plants thrive which helps to produce the fruits and vegetables that our world eats daily. If these products were to disappear because lack of pollination people will "wake up" and realize that there is an increasing problem with the bees in the United States.

Honey is a favorite in every household in the United States, it is used in many ways such as a sweetener in tea. Most people like how it is cheap, organic, and chemical free. All people in the world know that honey comes from bees but not all of them know about the colony colapse disorder. If there were an increase in the honey prices people will understand that there is a reason for the increase and that is the colony colapse disorder.
