HARMONY OF TASTE

May 20 is World Bee Day. On this day we focus on the little insects that are so essential to life on Earth. However, to me, it shouldn't just be one day that draws attention to the importance of bees and their situation. Often when we think of bees, we think of honeybees, which are known as honey producers. In fact, there are about 30,000 species of bees in the world. Almost half of these wild bee species are now considered endangered. Nesting opportunities are becoming scarcer and monocultures have led to a reduction in bee food resources in recent years. In addition, pesticides disrupt bees' sense of direction, weaken their immune systems, and can be deadly.
