The Pros And Cons Of Bees

Bees with no home. Bees with their hives collapsing. Bees unable to find home. Bees dying. Everyone can make a difference! It’s simple, steps to solving the problem for future bees are planting flowers,banning pesticides, and banning nicotine. Some challenges for bee keepers are the loss in be population, less money, and less flowers. One challenge for bee keepers is the DWINDLING bee population. In fact, there numbers are dropping like green sea turtles once did. Around the year 2,000, bee keepers noted an average loss of 5 - 10% of bees. In 2,006 a loss of 30% was reported, and now there is a loss of 40 - 50%. This means that if we don’t stop to change our actions 75 % of the bees will be lost. Also it means that 75% of 1/3 of our food will be lost and 75% of the 15 billion dollars produced from bees will be lost. According to Bees Beware, “ we’re seeing a lot of colonies failing. The population is dwindling because of pesticides, nicotine. In the
If we plant more flowers bees will have more habitats to live in( they need flowers). I believe that if everybody plants 1 inexpensive flower we will have around 320 million flowers in the U.S. That will have a huge impact on our key bees. WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION!

This makes me outraged that some little object can cause such harm to the people of the United
