2nd place winner of the Beauty of the Bee Photo Contest goes to "Messy Bumble" by Sherrie Pelsma.
Sherrie shares this
"Bees are a critical part of our ecosystem. Not only are they vital to our own food production but to the food production of nearly every major ecosystem on the planet. Imagine the permanent sterilization and extinction of most of the worlds flowering plants and trees, to all the creatures that rely on those plants and trees as a form of food, shelter, and survival. I am deeply concerned about the collapse of entire biospheres and mass extinction that will occur if we lose bees and other pollinators."
