If you’ve been concerned that the honeybee is facing extinction, you're worrying about the wrong bee. Find out more on which pollinators need help by clicking the link below.
occurred around 2006 and entire colonies of honeybees died, experts and the public alike were justifiably alarmed. The campaign to "save the honeybees" somehow got entangled in our minds with "save the pollinators" and "save the planet."
That’s how honeybees got the reputation as the preeminent pollinator. Even though lots of animals are pollinators, from birds and bats to butterflies and wasps, the preeminent pollinators in North America are bees — native bees, not honeybees, says Black. After hearing alarming stories about CCD and dying honeybees, many people started raising backyard hives. Some businesses put beehives on their roofs.
Still, there is a silver lining, says Black. "I’m not sure I’d be talking to you about native bees if we’d not had CCD, and everybody got on the bandwagon to protect honeybees."If keeping backyard bees doesn’t help, what can we do to save native bees — and other insects as well? "There are a lot of decisions we make on a day-to-day basis that directly impact insects," says Jessica Ware, associate curator of Invertebrate Zoology at the American Museum of Natural History.
