You Can Save the Bees with Help from New Free Kindle Book

Los Angeles, California/September 7, 2013/ Kenneth Eade announced today the release of his new e-book on Amazon.com, entitled “Bless the Bees: The Pending Extinction of Our Pollinators and What We Can Do to Stop It” free for the next two days.

“If the bee disappears from the earth, man would have no more than four years to live.” Albert Einstein.

What Einstein meant is that the bees are an indicator species. Their loss could signal that we are facing a “mass extinction,” something biologists fear may be upon us now. If they are right, this would be the sixth mass extinction in world history, the last one being the dinosaurs, and, instead of a meteor hitting the earth, which is suspected to be the cause of their demise, we (mankind) are the cause of it this time.

The bees have survived over 100 million years of evolution, but it has taken us less than 30 years to kill almost all of them off. Bees are responsible for pollinating 60% of the world’s food supply and 90% of all flowering plants. Without them, the human race would face starvation. One of every three bites of food comes from plants pollinated by honeybees and other pollinators. Without bees to pollinate our food we would have a worldwide food and economic epidemic. It has been called the bee apocalypse by Russia’s president, but it is worse in the United States than any other country. 

This beautifully illustrated edition is meant to educate the reader about the potential extinction of the bees as an indicator of a mass extinction, the last one of which was 65 million years ago. It explains what pollination is, who does it, why its essential to us, what things are threatening our pollinators and what we, as individuals, can do about it.
