provides 90% of our global food‚ 71% of those are pollinate by bees‚ and 1/3 of the food we eat needs to be pollinated. Scientists have started to notice abrupt disappearance of bees globally and have conducted experiments leading to CCD (Colony Collapse Disorder). Although CCD has occurred throughout the history of apiculture‚ it has never been on such a large scale. CCD has been baffling scientists in the past few years. A solution is desperately needed because earth is losing between 1 and 10%

The first signs of danger amongst the bees began in October of 2006‚ when U.S. beekeepers began reporting losses of 30% - 90% of their hives. Colony losses are a natural part of beekeeping‚ with higher losses expected during the winter months‚ but the sheer magnitude of the reports were extremely unusual. This phenomenon is termed as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). CCD has caused the American domesticated bee population to experience a substantial decline from 30% to 50% over the last two decades

EPA presents the Colony Collapse Disorder‚ which is believed to be affecting the lives of the bees (1). “Colony Collapse Disorder is the phenomenon that occurs when the majority of worker bees in a colony disappear and leave behind a queen‚ plenty of food‚ and a few nurse bees to care for the remaining immature bees and the queen” (EPA 1). The Environmental Protection

However‚ Bee colony collapse disorder has contributed to an approximate loss of about 30% of pollinators each year for the last ten years. This is a big increase in the average loss of pollinators from the 1990s-mid 2000s which varied from 17%-20% per year (Johnson). While the

These problems‚ many of which honey bees might be able to survive if each were the only one‚ are often hitting in a wide variety of combinations‚ and weakening and killing honey bee colonies.

Colony Collapse Disorder is a phenomenon‚ which happens when the majority of the worker bees abandon a queen and vanish. They also leave behind a lot of nourishment and nurse bees to look after the staying immature bees and the queen. The hives cannot support themselves without worker bees‚ so they have chance to die. Colony Collapse Disorder have declined significantly over the last 5 years. It was already known in the apiculture field as different names. Since the great number of disappearance
