(Video) Earth Day Message from Bill Maher

A few days ago on HBO's Real Time, host Bill Maher discussed a specific environmental issue that the press had been ignoring until now.  It has to do with the decrease in bee population:

And there is more:

  • 70% of all vegetables must be pollinated by domestic bees.  (AFP 4/6/07)
  • There are 25% less professional bee hive colonies today than at the start of the 1980s. (AFP 4/6/07)
  • Bee exports in 24 states, which include every region of the country, have recently reported unprecedented numbers of bees abandoning their hives.  For example, 35% of Florida's bee colonies have disappeared.  (St. Petersburg Times 3/3/07)
