    Over the past few years, beekeeping has become a trending hobby with sweet rewards for some people. To say the least, beekeeping has become a fascinating hobby for me as I enjoy being outdoors and gardening. I became interested in beekeeping while observing the behavior of bees while working in my garden over several days. The bees were working to increase pollination among the plants in my garden which resulted in an increase in yields from my fruit trees and vegetables. According to the American Beekeeping…

    But it was the fungicides that caused the most concern in the second part of the experiment. The researchers took disease-free bees, divided them into groups, and subjected them to three kinds of diets: two control diets free of insecticides traces, and one featuring samples of pollen collected from each of the field sites. Then they exposed them all to Nosema spores, and examined which bees became infected, and which managed to fight it…

    The decline has been linked to the parasites, climate change and the industrial agriculture as well. The losses of the biodiversity from the usage of the harmful pesticides and monocultures have the most notable effects on the decline of bees worldwide. So what is it that must be done in order to relinquish the control of a healthy bee population thus sustaining effective pollination practices for the farming industry?…

    Pesticide use: Pesticides are deadly to bees (plants.usda.gov, 2006). In a 2012 experiment, three generations of honey bees were exposed to a common and widely used pesticide called “Imidacloprid” (Pettis, 2012). The bees were also introduced to a gut parasite called Nosema, which is a pathogen to the Honeybee (Pettis, 2012). It was shown that Nosema infections increased in the hives that were being treated with pesticide compared to the control hive (Pettis, 2012). It was concluded that the interactions between pesticides and pathogens could be a major contributor to the declination of bee populations (Pettis,…

    When the honeybee lands on a flower and that flower has pollen which is usually located somewhere near or inside the flower, the bee sucks up the pollen, and get the pollen on its body, and as the bee goes to another flower, that pollen mixes with the new flower and then seeds are produced and from there the flower starts to grow when that seed takes root somewhere. Without being pollinated, the crops cannot grow which, for us humans, it means that there will be a serious tremendous amount of shortage for fruits and vegetables. Bees also supply human beings with many different products that are made out of honey. These products include; soap, lip balm, honey. These products are used for medicinal purposes as well as food. The honey bee is a major pollinator of many of our food crops. For instance, almonds, apples, avocados, blueberries, cantaloupes, cherries, cranberries, cucumbers, sunflowers, watermelon and many other crops all rely on honey bees for pollination. This shows that bees are insects that are far more important in our society than what humans give them credit…

    The honeybee’s immense value comes about from its ability to pollinate flowers and crops to promote a healthy and sufficient harvest. This harvest is key for agriculturally dependent countries such as the United States, whose agriculture industry is worth upwards of $200 billion. Bees are a noticeably important factor in maintaining this agriculture, so important that in June of 2014, the president of the United States developed the Pollinator Health Task-Force, run by the USDA and the EPA (U.S Dept. of Agriculture and Environmental Protection Agency).…

    Bees are beautiful insects that do great service for our environment. They help pollinate flowers and plants to create an area full of rich biodiversity. The world depends on them so much because they are responsible for one-third of all fruit and vegetable production. But what would happen to the world’s food production if they all just disappeared? Colony collapse disorder or (CCD) is the case that occurs when the majority of worker bees in a colony disappear and leave behind the queen. Although this disorder has been studied as early as 1869, it has taken a greater interest in 2006 due to the increasing rate of disappearing bees. This event is very important to the world because bees are the major source of our food production. They help pollinate crops so that we can have fresh fruits and vegetables to eat. Even though scientist has not found out why this phenomenon is happening, vast research has shown that the use of pesticides has been one of the leading causes of colony collapse disorder.…

    Bees are commonly known for their role in pollination, as well as producing honey and beeswax. Impacting biotic life to the extent that this decline will lead to death among species that have come to rely on them with their lives, bee populations must be stabilized and then have its species aided back to self-sustainable levels or their absence will lead to extinction of more than just one species. These tiny organisms deserve more recognition for their crucial tireless work than received, their declines most often are result of habitat loss, grazing, logging, and agriculture. The declines are caused by human, animal, and plant life, along with natural causes and can be limited by the one species that has the power to do so, humans must consciously realize bees cruciality on life and act to preserve bees existence not only for themselves but for the other modes of life we mutalstically coexist with, on earth.…

    “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.

Bees need to be saved because of the huge impact they make to the earth, without them we won’t survive. Bees are known to be in the top 5 most important animals in the world. While some say that bees are useless pests that sting and destroy property, they may not realize that 1 of every 3 bites they take of food depends on 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.…

    States dependent on crops pollinated by honey bees will face economic downturn. Consumers will find themselves lacking essential nutrients as certain crops become scarce and highly expensive. Further research into solutions to slow the rate of decline within the honey bee population is necessary to determine final economic state of affairs. Possible solutions, such as research to determine an insecticide that can deter the Varroa mite without affecting honey bees or organic growing without pesticides to maintain health of honey bees. Recent movements to educate the public on amatuer beekeeping can help boost the population of honey bees. Overall, as it currently stands, the agricultural industry will undergo serious changes, individual economies will suffer, and society will have to alter its’ preferences to keep up with the changing prices and…
