Science fiction writers unleash a variety of catastrophes on humanity - from all kinds of epidemics to threats from space or the uprising of machines. Writers also pay attention to environmental problems, especially since in recent years they have spoken a lot about them, warned them, and take measures to reduce harm to the environment. And, of course, this is reflected in the literature, including the fantastic. And here are some striking examples of this.

As heroes, we have William Savage, an English science enthusiast who, in 1852, tries to break out of apathy and become famous for inventing an innovative bee hive. In 2007, in America, his distant descendant George Savage keeps his apiary and wants his son to continue the hereditary business. And a woman named Tao in China 2098 pollinates fruit trees because bees are just extinct, and only in Asia are there enough people to leave them to do the work that invisible insects used to do. And each hero has his own family drama.
