Bees are slowly becoming extinct. The biggest reason for the bee’s endangerment are chemicals called Neonicotinoids. Neonicotinoids are relatively new chemicals but have already become widely used in recent years because they are taken up by all parts of a plant, and when insects (like bees) ingest them. The chemicals disrupt key behaviors like navigation in the insects, causing population declines. The European Commission gave a proposal that would have forbidden the use of neonicotinoids on crops that attract bees. The proposal was triggered by a report issued in January by the European Food Standards Agency, which said it was not acceptable to use neonicotinoids on crops with flowers that attract
