I love the idea of increasing the bee population and restoring bio-diversity, but I am not clear on how you plan to implement this idea or engage people to support it. Having passion is wonderful, but what are the practical applications needed to implement this idea? I agree with the comment below that perhaps you could add more details into your application to show how exactly this could work. Thanks
