The Pollen Nation : Bee-In Social

Albert Einstein said, “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.” (If Einstein didn't say it [?], then we will!)

According to recent news reports, “The alarm was first sounded last autumn, but has now hit half of all American states. The West Coast is thought to have lost 60 per cent of its commercial bee population, with 70 percent missing on the East Coast.” (resource)

"Commercial bee colonies are important to agriculture as pollinators, along with some birds, bats and other insects. A recent report by the National Research Council noted that in order to bear fruit, three-quarters of all flowering plants rely on pollinators for fertilization." (resource)

The Pollen Nation is network of people and organizations hosting the Bee-In Social to celebrate the magic of the bees and take conscious action to promote pollinator's lives and the lives they touch. Find out more about us.

The PollenNation was launched at the UNION Bee-In Social at Grace Cathedral on May 25, 2007. On this memorable evening over 300 people gathered to celebrate the magic of the bees and take conscious action to promote pollinator's lives and the lives they touch. Find out more about this event. See photos, videos, and audio from the event.
