- HELLO! My name is Mollie Passacantando and I am 13 years old. When I was 8 I did a project to help put the Polar Bears on the Endangered Species list. Shortly after I won two awards and I am now in a book. For the past two years I have been doing a project with my school involving bees. It feels great to make a difference! P.S If you don't know what the picture above is, look up AXOLOTL, they are really cool

Congratulations on your Action For Nature’s International 2007 Young Eco-Hero Award!
I see that you are planning on working on honey bee colony collapse disorder.
Although, honey bees pollinate approximately $15 Billion worth of crops in the U.S. each year. The value of pollination services provided by native bees and other wildlife is even greater. It is estimated that honeybees only pollinate 15% of the most common food crops worldwide. So, don't forget our native pollinators, they are also declining and could use your help! Check out

Hi there. Love your blog. I too am trying to save the honey bee. Here is what I found-
Some researchers are investigating a few different theories. These are as follows:
Cell phone usage-Is so great that the signals are throwing off the bees and they cannot find their ways back to the hive.
Pesticides-Are killing them on a regular basis
Mad Bee Disease-This being any illness that the bees are not immune to, which there are many of due to declining numbers and not enough diverstiy.
I hope this helps you in your quest.
