Thousands of honeybees on the roof of the federal courthouse in Concord, New Hampshire, are part of the General Services Administration's Pollinator Initiative, a government program to protect bees and other pollinators, which are essential to life on Earth.

Without human intervention and new hives, the world could encounter bee extinction, leading to global hunger and economic collapse. Over a thousand hives are part of a network to determine how to keep the bee population healthy, and the government programme is identifying ways to protect and manage habitats that will be shared worldwide.
