It all began with an essay. Under consideration of environmental issues and the media's impact on our perceptions of them. I selected a topic which has vexed me for a whole but seemed so distant for some reason. The disappearances of bees in Europe and America.

Digging deeper and reading over 50 articles and sites gave me the distinct impression that it wasn't Africa's problem. No matter how much food we import from those regions it was hardly covered by local media while there was a frenzy over seas to get laws changed and coax action from the general public.

How could such a huge issue go unheeded by us on the dark top of Africa? If only to learn and change our ways before we fell into the same pit.
