Also, this is hard to believe, because most people in my community are ignorant to it...but, here in Niagara, ALL of the bee's have vanished! Yes, ALL of them! In one year!
Of course, bees are an essential part of life, in particular for pollination of course.. But...they are just GONE! Nobody can figure out why. They have had the best scientists in the world look at this, and *blank*..nadda idea!
Over a thousand mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and various other species are now extinct. Over 4000 are currently critically threatened. The largest number of extinctions have taken place from the early 20'th century.
The bees in my area, of course, are not extinct. But something pretty drastic has happened, and humans are clueless. (What else is new??..heh.)
