The disappearance of honey bees is big news right now; these pollinators are vanishing at an alarming rate due to human-induced environmental perils such as pesticides. I saw this image of a bee face-to-face with a flower and imagined a war zone in which the lethal flowers threatened the bee soldier. This is a war in which bees and humans need to be allies. When our toxic flowers kill all the bees, where will our food come from?
