In Northern Ireland, there has been a catastrophic decline in the number of honeybees as vast numbers of our colonies are suffering from horrific maladies such as the varoosis, by which an external parasite attaches to the body of the bee and infects them with killer viruses. If we allow the problem to escalate we'd no longer be able to create pretty flowers, cotton clothing, many medicines (most use plant extracts) and eventually our animals would starve as there would be nothing to feed them, so there would be no meat. As Einstein once said ''without bees there's no pollination, then no plants, without plants there's no meat, without meat there's no man'. Our community aims to prevent the extinction of our native bees in Northern Ireland by providing members with articles about the importance of bees for our conservation and tips on how to create your own colonies. We thank you for visiting our site and happily invite you to join our community :)
