According to the June 2019 survey of the Bee Informed Partnership, bee colony death continues to rise in the United States of America. U.S. beekeepers lost nearly 40% of their honey bee colonies in the winter of 2018/2019 - the greatest winter hive loss reported since the partnership began its surveys in 2006.
The Independent Newspaper has reported that in the United Kingdom, climate change, pollution, disease and habitat loss have negatively affected bee populations. Seventeen species of bees are now regionally extinct and many others are at risk. Several other leading newspapers have reported similar findings.
The Last Honey Bee aims to make young children aware of the importance of honey bees while urging them not to harm these important pollinators. Children are encouraged to plant wildflowers, which are also declining in the UK.
