[Pollinator] Bees are disappearing in India – and we are slowly learning why

[Sandy Lee]

Mr. Vergara,

Thank you for citing your article. I live in NC and am somewhat retired 
but have native plants and work to keep my yard and property pollinator 
friendly. As an observer I have definitely seen a decline even on my 
property. We have had all kinds of meteorological events to explain why 
(long winter, early spring, etc) however it continues to happen. Thank 
you again, I look forward to reading your article.
