HELP REVERSE
THE DECLINE OF BEE POPULATIONS Honey bees are natural pollinators vital to producing fruit and vegetable crops that feed our families and our economy – and their numbers are in alarming decline. Friends of the Bee (FOB) is a fund established by the American Beekeeping Federation to: • • •
Educate the public on the honey bee’s vital role in our ecosystem Promote honey bee health Support research into issues having detrimental effects on bees and beekeepers
Your generous donation is desperately needed to protect the honey bee habitat, aid in the fight against Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), encourage government-sponsored research, assist in the battle against adulterated honey in the marketplace and helps ensure the continued role of the honey bee in pollinating one third of our nation’s food supply.
