If you Steemians haven't heard - The Bee has officially been added to the endangered species list.

BUT

There is more to that, firstly the report states that the move is directed at environmentalism, protection and general preservation of natural wonder.

When we hear of Bee's added to the endangered list.

Everyone's minds directly jump to the Honey Bee!

Which would be a massive problem if it was. If the honey bee went extinct we would have nothing to pollinate any more. Fruits would disappear entirely! We would need to create robot swarms to pollinate everything as the honey bees did

Albert Einstein also said that

“If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live.”

But this is also just a theory ofcourse

Luckily the bee's added are in fact not Honey Bee's (Shew)

They are the Yellow Face bee native to Hawaii

Another positive

These bee's are not dying from a colony collapse

The scientists are actually just worried about their habitat. Therefor adding these to the endangered list well help their environment ( As previously stated above)

Great news ! But this does not mean we can ignore our Honey Bee's

In recent years there has been a decline in bee's in Europe by 53%

So spread the news, and let people know that our honey bee is still safe - For now!
