Noah Wilson-Rich suggests that urban beekeeping might play a role in revitalizing both a city and a species. (Filmed at TEDxBoston.)

I would discuss this with my gardening class and find a place for bees. they would support our food growth and we would be supporting bee populations. When collecting and selling the vegetables and honey, that is when the word will be spread about the importance of bees.

I can help people understand bees by bringing awareness to the importance of their role in a healthy sustainable world. I can post and talk about the decline of bees throughout the world and the effect it can have on the environment, health, and economy on social media.
