BeesWhat Is Happening to the Bees?
The Bee population has been slowly
declining ever since the 1990s. There are
many theories on why their population has
been declining, but nobody really knows.
One of the causes of this rapid decline is the
use of pesticides, some which can hinder
their flying abilities. We have made changes
to limit this decline, as in 1947 the Bee
population declined by 6 million Bees, now
we have only lost 2.5 million.
What Do Bees Contribute To Society?
Bees are responsible for many things, but
what they do for us is a different type of
task, as it is not direct. A flower can be
pollinated by wind or by pollination by an
insect or bird, and Bees are the pollinators
of 1/3 of our agricultural income. Bees also
pollinate flowers who don't carry fruit, but
seeds. These seeds help feed countless
animal species.

BeesWhat would a world without
Bees be like?For one, a world without Bees would be a
world without Honey. 30% of the food you
eat comes from bees, so a world without
bees leads to less agricultural income. A
world without Bees would mean that all of
our flowers would wither away due to lack
of pollination, and for the flowers that are
pollinated by winds or birds, their fruit would
come out lopsided because of the lack of
proper polliation.
What can we do to help the Bees?Cheerios is having a campaign called
#Bringbackthebees, where you sign up and
they send you free Wildflower seeds for
free. One of the things we can do to help
the Bees are planting flowers that they like.
Bees are working 100% of the year, and
they are pollinators, so plant something
that the Bees can feed on. Another way to
help the Bees is by eliminating Green
Pesticides. Also, Bees do drink water, so
put a small container of water outside your
home to provide a Bee drinking ground.
