EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR ALL AGES - RESEARCH, COLORING, PUZZLES, AND WORKSHEETS. According to entomologists and beekeepers, our pollinators are declining at alarming rates - over 40% per year worldwide! Habitat loss, pesticides, herbicides, depleted soil, and pollution - combined with genetic mutations and mite viruses on already weakened immune systems - all are having devastating results on crops. This news isn’t new. In the 1950’S, Rachel Carson brought most of these issues to our attention with her award-winning book, ‘The Sea Around Us.” The better known book, “The Silent Spring” reinforced the toxic, ill-fated vision of the future. The livelihoods of beekeepers and farmers are in peril. Our food supply is in jeopardy. We’ve lost over 80% of our plant biodiversity in the last century. Extinction of familiar crops and their habitats is on the horizon. This gloomy vision of the future need not happen. Everyone can help rejuvenate the pollinator population. Ecosystem restoration is attainable through healthy soil, diverse plants, and better land management.
