Talking about the most popular and lovely animals in the world, most people will chose puppies, cats, or birds. However, there is a few people who raise a kind of small insect as their pets, a tiny animal that can be seen everywhere in gardens and farms. At the same time, as one of the biggest groups of insects, bees are facing the unprecedented challenge; their population has been dramatically decreasing since 1971, especially between 2006 and 2007. The main reasons can be attributed to the suburb’s urbanization, pesticides, pests and decrease of bee farms. Because of this unusual reduction, most scientists call this phenomenon Colony Collapse Disorder. Their importance to life on earth and micro-economy are two reasons people need to protect

According to the article “On Einstein, Bees, and Survival of the Human Race,” if a large number of bees disappear, crops and plants will lose their way to be pollinated by bees, which will finally lead to plants’ extinction. Then, all domestic and wild animals feeding on plants will be extinct; people will have to face the shortage of food. In the end, the author mentions that people’s lives will be endangered and threatened, just like the quota from Albert Einstein: “If the bee disappears from the surface of the Earth, man would have no more than four years left to …show more content…
It is reported that in the United States, more than one- third of crops rely on bees. Only if crops such as almonds, peaches, soybeans, apples, pears, cherries, cranberries, strawberries, melons get bees’ pollination, can they bear fruit. In the past, in the southern part of Sichuan Province in China, bees were extinct as the result of overuse of farm chemicals. If they had not disappeared, a hive of bees could have pollinated millions of flowers every day. However, a hundred people can only help pollinate ten pear trees. With the migration from rural areas to cities, the cost of artificial pollen will become higher and higher; it is possible that this could force farmers to give up farming, which could lead to the recession of agriculture.

Both individuals and governments should protect bees because they are so important for all life on this planet and micro-economy. The United States is the first country to enact a standard of Colony Collapse Disorder, or CDD. According to this standard, it is estimated that about 25% bees were extinct and over 40% bees disappeared in Quebec, Canada between 2006 and 2007. If people soon do not take measures to prevent this rapid decreasing, there will be no bees in near future, and people will have to face a lifeless and cold
