## Resource

I had no idea how important bees are to humanity. It turns out they're heading closer to extinction, argues Nikki Florio , with a mix of factors to blame—including geoengineering, industrial beekeeping, 5G, urbanisation, pollution, and agricultural practices. She goes on to explain that it's not just bees: all pollinating insects are in steep decline. But the good news is that there are practical things we can do to support them and help reverse the damage. ➡️ jermwarfare.com ➡️ ukcolumn.org
