That\u2019s when my fondness for bees started, even though I got stung a lot as a little kid. In college, a friend and I would search \u201cBee Butts in Flowers\u201d and send the results back and forth to cheer each other up. It works quite well, I recommend giving it a go. I do understand why people are scared of bees, especially if you should be allergic to them. But when I see those little guys just buzzing around, hard at work, I can\u2019t help but smile.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; color: var(--ast-global-color-3);\">What doesn\u2019t make me smile is how we have impacted bees. The changes we have made to our planet have significantly impacted pollinator species and climate change is only exacerbating these impacts. Albert Einstein once said, \u201cIf the bee disappears from the surface of the Earth, man would have no more than four years left to live.\u201d Mind you this isn\u2019t completely true \u2013 our livelihoods, diets, and mental health would suffer dramatically, but humankind would live on without bees (<\/span><a style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nrdc.org\/stories\/world-without-bees-heres-what-happens-if-bees-go-extinct\">NRDC, World Without Bees<\/a><span style=\"font-style: inherit; color: var(--ast-global-color-3);\">).
