Why Do Bees Cause Colony Collapse Disease?

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.
In addition, the use of pesticides was widely used during …show more content…
Global warming can change a bees atmosphere by making it more colder than it usually is. This limits the practice of pollination because there are fewer flowers for bees to pollinate. Global Warming can also lead to a disruption of synchronizing timing of flower blooming. If flowers bloom to late, it can decrease the rate of repopulation of bees. Although this phenomenon explains some of the issues of the disappearing of bees, it does not show where the mass amount of dead bodies of bees go. If global warming was the factor, many beekeepers will notice dead bees around their hive or near the pollination spots. But with the pesticide neonicotinoids, it is possible that the parasite might have sucked out all of the bees blood and have left the body on the ground ready to
