Why are Bee’s and TREES Important?

Bee’s

Bees are dying by the billions. They are an essential pollinator in our ecosystem, and without them, human's and the planet will suffer. Pollinators are essential to the survival of plants.

(wasps are rude and different than bees)

Tree’s

* Are used in creating medicine.

* Provide food and shelter for wildlife.

* Keep waterways clean.

* Prevent soil from eroding.

* Produce the oxygen we breathe.

* Absorb CO2, counteracting global climate change.
