How Do Bees Affect Our World?

Improved Essays
Bee’s are a very vital part to our world, and how it functions. They are the reason our flowers grow, and why the world has life. They keep the world green using a process called pollination. The bees do this by taking some of the pollen out of the the flower they get their nectar from and sprinkle it onto other flowers to make them grow. As you know the way that we get fresh air is from the trees through a process called photosynthesis. Without bees this process would not be possible, because if they did not fertilize the trees when they are just little weeds, the trees would never grow to full size. It is not just with trees, bees fertilize flowers, crops, etc. If we don't have crops we don't have food. Our animals eat the grass so without the grass …show more content…
Most people are allergic and afraid of bees. I am one of those people who strongly dislike the species. I would say that that is one of the main reasons bees are endangered. People kill them and don’t think anything of it all they see is just a bug with a stinger that can potentially hurt you. Another thing that are a danger to bees are the people/animals who kill them and take down their hives for the honey. Unlike beekeepers who use smoke on the bees to relax then to retrieve the honey they just kill them and don't think twice. We need to think about what we are killing, and their impact on the world around us before we kill them. Something we can do to save the bees and get their species off of the endangered list is to have farms reserved for them their hives. This way they could still fly around and pollinate but have a safe place to produce the honey and stay. Another way that we could boost the bee population is to do what we always do to endangered species. That is taking a couple males and a couple females and have them reproduce. We need to do this to allow the population to go back up to a normal

    We treat bees like machines instead of animals. In 1984 a new parasite, the Tracheal mite began to diminish both wild and commercial honeybees in the U.S. In 1987, American beekeepers experienced some of the heaviest losses on record from the Varroa mite. Because of CCD it has been noted that losses as high as eighty percent are occurring overnight (Rich and Morley). Even with all of these things decreasing the population, it is an easy fix. We as humans need to live in neutrality with the bees. Some cities will not allow bees to be kept within 500 feet from any homes and even limit the number of colonies a keeper can have.…

    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”…

    Tragedy of the Commons: Bees and Neonics Pause for a second to envision the environment without bees. It would be a lot less pleasant than the one you currently know.

    Millions of bees are dying off, an average of 30% of all honey bee colonies dies each winter. We rely on bees to pollinate 90% of the world's food and to increase the yield by up to 30%. Many fruits and vegetables would become scarce and prohibitively expensive without the bees. If bees became extinct most of our food will no longer exist and if it did, it wouldn't be very affordable.…

    Jorge, I am in agreement that the loss of honey bees is a crisis that we can afford to just sit back and doing nothing. As you mentioned that honey bees help pollinate crops, and play a vital role in the foods we enjoy. It seems to me that the pesticide industry is helpful to an extent for other insects that destroy food products. However, killing the honey bee population in the process is self-defeating and harms the environment as well.…
