In the wake of the devastating loss of over 200,000 honey bees due to the removal of a beloved orchard in Paleto, we are urgently seeking support to import honey bees to our state. This tragedy has not only impacted our local ecosystem but also threatened the production of honey, mead, and beeswax—essential products for our community.

By importing honey bees, we aim to:

1. Restore Our Ecosystem: Honey bees play a crucial role in pollination, which is vital for the growth of many plants and crops. Their absence has left a significant gap in our local biodiversity.
2. Support Local Industries: Honey production is integral to our local economy. It provides the primary ingredient for mead and other drinks and is a source of beeswax used in various products.
3. Revitalize Agriculture: The presence of honey bees will aid in the pollination of crops, leading to better yields and more robust agricultural output.

We urge the community to support this initiative to import honey bees and help rebuild Paleto's natural and economic health. Together, we can restore balance to our environment and ensure the prosperity of our local industries.
