This hypothetical scenario is going to become our reality and very soon. The bee population is dying fast and its our fault.      Bees are the one thing that all of those items above have in common. They are the reason we have so many different foods and they are dying. Plants rely on bees to pollinate them so they can make our fruits and vegetables. Almost one third of everything that we eat is a direct result of bees. So whats making these helpful insects die off up to 30% a year in the past couple of decades?      Well actually it's the farmers that bees help who are killing them.
