Due to CCD and other diseases, our food production and plant life could be decreased to dangerous levels, but the problem can be easily prevented. Throughout history we have seen a decrease in bee population, but nothing as severe…
What most people do when they see a bee is they try to kill it, but that is the wrong thing to do bees have it hard without people trying to kill them. Bees are a necessity for humans to live. This essay will be covering three main topics, why so many bees are disappearing, the history behind the reason, and what can be done to stop the issue. The reason why so many bees are disappearing is due to stress that people put on them.…
Some think that the decline is due to various pesticides and other farming practices. Because of more careful actions, farmers have taken more consideration in their landscaping and experiments have begun to gather more data and to hopefully help the bees. Honey bees are essential to human life. Most people do not think about how much of our food is pollinated or a production a pollination especially from a bee. “Typically, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, these under-appreciated workers pollinate 80 percent of our flowering crops, which constitute one-third of everything we eat”…
And without the bees, our crops and flower can’t grow as well. And since the bee population is dying down, 2 million a year, we are now realizing that bees are a keystone species and that we need them. This proves if the bees disappear, it changes how of plants are used to being pollinated and how they grow so this could mean that we don’t get the good crops we are used to and we may not even get flowers at…
However, it is not too late to prevent this decline of the bee population. There are several short-term and long-term ways that we can save the bee diversity such as ecological farming, eat organically and locally, bee-friendly planting, beekeeping 101, and speak out for the bees. With all these methods, it is guaranteed that bee population rate will be increasing…
“If the bee disappeared off the face of the Earth, man would only have four years left to live." -Albert Einstein. Bees play a major role on Earth, they are vital to the human food supply, they are contributors to nature, they have historical significance, and they are good for business. The bee population has been decreasing for plenty years, and I believe that we need to save them. Bees need to be saved because of the huge impact they make to the earth, without them we won’t survive.…
If the population of plants decrease, food will surely decrease also. There are billions of people that have to be fed everyday, and unfortunately we rely on bees to pollinate many of our crops. A drop in crops around the world would cut off a lot of food that we need to sustain life on the planet. If bees were to disappear we would slowly start disappearing also. There is just too many people that need food to cut out all of the crops that bees pollinate.…
The environmental issue I picked that is local to me is the huge decrease of the number inbees. In the recent years, bee keepers have reported they’re losing an average of 30% of allhoneybee colonies each winter. This is an important issue because we rely on bees to pollinate71 of the 100 crops that provide the most of the world’s food. Scientist have pointed to a numberof causes which includes, global warming, habitat loss, parasites and insecticides. In my finalpaper I’m going to explain why the loss of bees is so significant, what the causes are for thedecrease in bees, and what we can do about…
Many of the land and marine animals are dying, due to pollution, rising of water, temperature and loss of habitat. One of the greatest dangers we are facing in the US is the loss of the global honeybee population. Honeybees have a tremendous part in our’s and in other animal’s food chains. We don’t seem to notice what a bee does for us, but if they all died, we would. Honey bees pollinate plants/flowers, giving us a third of the food we consume, and for the vegetarians even more.…
In my freshman year of college, I researched and prepared a speech for my communications class about the Colony Collapse Disorder affecting bees and what it could mean for the plants and animals reliant on pollinators. Just recently, bees became the newest addition to endangered species list causing increased concern over the vitality of our ecosystems if the humble insect were to be eradicated altogether. While few news organizations have written about the placement of bees on the list, one article from the Washington Post divulges further information about the future of bees. According to the article, bees are not going extinct.…
Albert Einstein once wrote that “if the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.” (Goodreads). Insect pollinators are responsible for approximately one third of food crops (Greenpeace, 3) Most wild plants rely on indirect or direct pollination in order to reproduce and thus the environment and economy govern on successful pollination (Green Peace, 3).…
Communities of people and ecosystems in nature both work hand in hand in order to achieve one goal -- to ensure that all of their components function and work smoothly. When one thinks about their community, they have to take into consideration all of its parts that help in making it run smoothly. These components of a community can include things like those who produce, consume, and decompose or break down. Consequently if one of those key components becomes damaged or missing, it can have harmful ripple effect throughout the entire community. One important example that ties into this idea today are the issues with the honey bee populations all across the world.…
Extensions of the Honey Bees Honeybees help produce 35% of all food in the world and have been around for millions of years. Yet, in recent decades, the honeybee population has been decreasing dramatically. On average a beekeeper will report 20% of annual losses, up to 90% on some occasions. Researchers have found that several factors have been causing the decrease in the honeybee population; a loss of habitat, introduction of new chemicals into the ecosystem, increase in the hive size and the rapid spread of diseases. Loss of Habitat…
Bees provide human, other species of animals, and plants with the resources need to survive as well as the ability to produce something because of bees. Because all of these things matter, there should be action taken in order to help recuperate the decline of bees and get the population to a stable condition. Lowering the chances of extinction could happen by setting a goal to increase the population every year. One of the major causes of bee decline would be because of weather and climate. A change in a climate can interrupt the work of a bee by not having conditions that are suitable for them to have a successful outcome.…
Bee extinction, it’s only the bee-ginning. Humans swat at them, spray them, and kill them. Has anyone ever thought of the importance of the honey bees people are trying to eliminate? Take a walk in nature on a sunny day and you’ll notice flowers blooming, plants growing, little critters moving around, and the buzzing of bees. Imagine if bees were taken out of the world .…
