Minnesota has approximately 400 different species of bees. One species, the Honey Bee, is currently in a crisis termed "Colony Collapse Disorder" due to their rapid decline in population. The honey bee and other species of bees are declining because of:
Habitat Loss
Overuse of Pesticides
Disease

Roseville recently passed a resolution declaring the City of Roseville as a Pollinator Friendly Community!
