--> Compose a three to five paragraph essay based on the following prompt:
Bees have long been recognized as special, even sacred animals by many human cultures. Despite this, the fact that bees have been dying in huge numbers during the last decade seems to have gone largely unnoticed by most people. What do you think it will take for a critical mass of people to “wake up” to the plight of the bees and what might happen if we don’t realize the severity of the problem before it’s too late?
