'Planet Earth' Host Urges Everyone To Put A Spoonful Of Sugar And Water In Their Yard To Save Humanity

Jul 10, 2018

When you see an inactive bee, he’s not dying; he’s exhausted. He simply needs a drink and a rest. It is important that we take care of our bees. Without them, humans will be extinct soon after. And all it takes is a spoonful of sugary water in our yards to rejuvenate the little bees and help them along their way.

There is no need to fear a bee. They are docile and will go about their business if you go about yours. Only if he believes he is being attacked will a bee defend himself.

And bees are so much more than harmless; they are essential to human survival. In fact, without their pollination of the planet, we would not be here in the first place. Today, bees continue to feed 90% of our population, worldwide.

Attenborough, the host of “Planet Earth” and the voice behind “The Blue Planet,” posted on Instagram that, "This time of year bees can often look like they are dying or dead, however, they're far from it. Bees can become tired and they simply don't have enough energy to return to the hive which can often result in being swept away.

If you find a tired bee in your home, a simple solution of sugar and water will help revive an exhausted bee. Simply mix two tablespoons of white, granulated sugar with one tablespoon of water, and place on a spoon for the bee to reach."

Attenborough informs us that the bee population has dropped by 1/3 in the last five years. He says that if bees were to disappear, humans would be extinct in four years. And humans caused this; we have made thousands of species extinct with our consumption of the planet.

Only we can fix it.

If we do not help the bees to survive, we write a final death sentence for our entire species as well. And it is so easy for every one of us to help with just a little drink for our bee buddies.

Please tell everyone how easy it is to give a little bee help. We can all save the bees, and thereby all save the humans.
