    Each year since 2006, bees have gradually been disappearing from their hives or dying off. Bees have died off before in the past. This is called colony collapse disorder or CCD. In the past CCD was cause by mites or infections, but now this is caused because of the commercial agricultural farmers. Bees play a key part in pollination. When the crops are pollinated by the bees, they are capable of producing the fruits or vegetables the human population eats. Farmers primarily depend upon the bees to pollinate their crops. The honeybees were the most adaptable bees out there because they would pollinate almost any of the plants. Other bees were only attracted to specific plants or flowers.…

    They consist of over 98% of the colony's population. Although the worker bees they never mate, the workers possess organs necessary for carrying out the many duties essential to the colony. They have a longer tongue than the queen and drones to help them suck pollen from flowers. Their stomachs are something else. A worker be can eat nectar and have it in her and then turns in into honey. An average hard working bee will make up to 1/12 of a teaspoon in its entire life time. Her legs also have pollen baskets on their legs to transport the pollen to the hive. The kind of work performed by the worker depends largely upon her age. The first three weeks of her adult life, during which she is referred to as a house bee, she is devoted to stay within the hive so that her wings can dry out and grow strong so that she can then leave the hive to find pollen (stone). The male bee is called a drone, drones only have one purpose and is the only male bee in the colony. The drone population is very slim, drones may only number in the hundreds even when the colony is doing its best. Drones are the only males in the colony and are not self-reliant and must be feed and cared for by the worker bees. He is allowed to remain in the hive only because he is needed to mate with a new virgin queen when the old queen dies. When the queen is about one week old that is when she fly’s up 200 to 300 feet in the air to mate.…

They entered the United States in southern Texas in 1990, Arizona and New Mexico in 1993, and California in 1994(Ellis 2009).

    It’s a disturbing fact that most people do not realize how important honey bees are to humanity. The truth is they are in a worldwide decline by phenomenal numbers and that is something that people should pay more attention to. Honey bees are disappearing at an alarming rate and that will have a major impact on the lives of everyone. The disappearance of honey bees would not only mean less pollination of important plants to our society but also could lead to higher food cost. After reading and analyzing Ambrose Evans-Pritchard’s article titled Einstein was right – honey bee collapse threatens global food security, it is almost unbelievable that people don’t understand how much honey bees effect our lives. It’s not just about sweet things, honey, or flowers, but in the service honey bees provide as pollinators of farms and gardens.…
