Can Hobby Beekeepers Save the Bees and the Ecosystem

The video highlights the critical role bees play in pollination and the alarming decline in their population due to colony collapse disorder. It showcases a school's initiative where students engage in beekeeping to support bee survival. Through hands-on experience, students learn beekeeping practices, overcome their fear of bees, and understand the importance of bees in agriculture. The video encourages starting beekeeping clubs and provides resources for interested students.
