As part of our Ecology and Interactions Unit, we looked at the "disappearance of honey bees" in recent years as a case study for interactions between living things. Bees form a mutualistic relationship with 1/3 of all agricultural crops produced in the United States, however, many bees are disappearing. We looked at four reasons why bee populations have been in decline, including the the bees relationship with a parasitic mite; Verroa destructor. Below are a few of the posters that were created in order to bring an awareness to the issue. One poster included a petition to sign towards taking actions one might make to help honey bees locally.
