Wenn die Bienen verschwinden Self-initiative, 2011
The massive bee mortality is a major threat to our food supply. Without bees no vegetables, no fruits, no nuts, no chocolate and no coffee. Eighty percent of all vegetation on earth is dependent on the pollination by bees. Already in 1900, Albert Einstein warned mankind for this problem: “Wenn die Bienen verschwinden, hat der Mensch nur noch vier Jahre zu leben; keine Bienen mehr, keine Pflanzen, keine Tiere, keine Menschen mehr” (“When all bees disappear, there will only be 4 years left for mankind to survive; no bees, no plants, no animals, no people anymore”) Not only Einstein warns us for this problem, it is nowadays also a hot topic in the media.
