What Can I Do? Education, Solutions, and Action
Addressing Bee Population Crisis is as simple
as what you do in your own flower pots, yard(s), neighborhood common areas, and what you tell your local, state
or providence, and national government officials you want done about bee repopulation, especially wild bees.

IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD
Rusty Patched Bumble bees and many other insect pollinators (other types of bees, beetles, flies,
ants, wasps, butterflies, and moths) need safe places to build nests that most use throughout winter. Leaving some grass
in your yard grow wild (like around edges) a light layer of mowed grass other plants in the summer, and dying plants in flower
beds and gardens and leaves on your lawn in autumn and winter will ensure that there is plant material for these vital pollinating
creatures to make nests. Grow flowers, flowering trees, and shrubs that blossom at different times - from early spring through
autumn. Learn about what specific native plants to where you live attracts different insects and animals. For example,
to attract Monarch butterflies, plant native milkweeds. But the most important way you can help insects and animals are,
if you must, to use natural pest control through investigating what plants, animals, and natural elements help, and stop
using any man-made pesticides, especially, "Round Up." There
are natural pesticides that are described that you can use, found at:

BEE HOMES
90% or more of all bees are "Solitary" bees, meaning that they do not belong to a colony.
Solitary bees are not bees that used to be part of a colony, and "lost' their way. Solitary bees hence, do not dwell
in hives or beekeeping boxes. Solitary bees make their nests in hollow reeds or twigs, holes in wood, or, most often,
making tunnels in the ground. Solitary bees are not bumble or honey bees (non-native to North America - brought
from Europe). There are over 200 species of solitary bees.

THE BUMBLE BEE: NOW OFFICIALLY ON ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST Why was there a delay? Bumble Bees nears extinction in USA. On Friday, February 10th, 2017, due to sharp dwindling numbers, especially the
Rusted Patched Bumble Bee - 90% only now to be found in historic range of 13 of 28 states and only one providence
of Canada, the Bumble Bee was to be added to USA Endangered Species List. Through an Executive Order, President Trump
halted all Obama endeavors. The next day possible for Endangered Species placement is Tuesday, March 21st, 2017,
the first full day of spring. WE DID IT! WE VOICED AND TOLD PRESIDENT TRUMP AND YOUR REPRESENTATIVES
TO ADD BUMBLE BEES IMMEDIATELY TO ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST. Without bees pollinating, there would be no food to eat
for humans and animals that eat plants. It completely disrupts the life cycle. Call President Trump - White
House: Comments: 202-456-1111, https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact#page and Switchboard: 202-456-1414 which you will be patched into your respective United States
Senators and House of Representative. To "Thank Him" so he remembers to not allow these "delays" in the first place.
Please Pass Along/Share. Thank you. Shaiyel, on behalf of the Bumble Bees.

"Insects are continually exposed to Radio-Frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields at different
frequencies. The range of frequencies used for wireless telecommunication systems will increase in the near future
from below 6 GHz (2 G, 3 G, 4 G, and WiFi) to frequencies
up to 120 GHz (5 G). This paper is the first to report the absorbed RF electromagnetic power in
four different types of insects as a function of frequency from 2 GHz to 120 GHz."
