of plants we consume. This would not only affect honey, but it would affect our food supply which can lead to malnutrition not only in developing countries but in developed countries as well. Kevin said, “This is the biggest general threat to our food supply.” BEES ARE POLLINATORS OF CHOICE. According to the article Loss of honey bees and other pollinators could mean malnutrition for millions…

to animal extinction, If honey bees go exctinct we will greatly louse our food suplies and our population will begin to decend downward. We would end up being stictly put on a diet of grains weats and oats. Since thouse food products are not pollinated by honey bees. Thoughes with gluton free diets or have alergies to specific foods such as grains, may possibly die off. Adapting to such a disaster would be difficult. Many animals who relie on specific foods produced by honey bees will die off,…

A top government honey bee researcher from South Dakota says he's being rebuffed for publicizing work on pesticides and pollinators. Jonathan Lundgren's exploration discovered honey bees and ruler butterflies can be hurt by a generally utilized class of bug sprays. In an informant case recorded Wednesday, the United States Agriculture Department entomologist claims he confronted striking back due to his examination. "When he began distributed this work, he went from brilliant kid to…

Bee Colonies In The US Worsens As 44 Percent Of Them Have Gone Over The Last Year According to a new study, the beekeepers in the United States are losing 44 percent of their honey bee colonies in the period of April 2015 to April 2016. This is worsened compared to last year. It showed that summer loss rates outdone winter loss rates. Dennis vanEngelsdorp, an assistant professor of entomology at University of Maryland and a project director for the Bee Informed Partnership said that they are now…

Think about the many times people have intentionally killed bees or other pollinators, even though they weren’t doing any harm. All of these times add up, and consequently a major bee crisis evolves. Beekeepers continue to report hive losses each year. This means that pollinating insects have been on a steep decline for many reasons. The bees must be helped now, especially since 90% of the world’s nutrition is pollinated by bees (Green Peace, n.d.). The decline in pollinators worldwide over the…

States since the 1880’s, but the steady decline of the colonies since 1947 through 2005 has been worrisome. It is during that 58 year span, in which honeybee colonies declined from 5.9 Million to 2.4 Million or a total loss of 40% (Problems in Domestic Bee Colonies, 2007). The sudden and inexplicable losses of such large numbers of honeybee colonies being reported in 2006 was alarming across agricultural communities, as it was recognized…

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.…

Bees are one of the most important insects in modern agriculture. About one in every three bites you eat is pollinated by bees. But bees are disappearing. Around two million bee hives were lost in a matter of just a few years, and healthy bee colonies aren't cheap. We are killing bees, even if we aren’t trying to. We’re killing the bees through neonicotinoids, varroa mites, and even global warming. The neonicotinoids aren’t doing what they are supposed to do. Sure, they do a good job killing…
