Bees Impact On Society

The honey bee population is going down, and while most people think it doesn't really matter or just don’t notice it, they should because it is a very big problem. I think the other people should try and change that. If bees die then it will not be good, at all. In this persuasive piece of writing, I will be trying to make people rethink about the bee population, and what it could potentially do to the human race.

Since the late 1990s, beekeepers around the world have observed the mysterious and sudden disappearance of bees, and report unusually high rates of decline in honeybee colonies. Bees do more than just make honey! Bee transfer pollen and seeds from one flower to another, fertilizing the plant so it can grow and produce food. Cross-pollination helps at least 30 percent of the world's crops and 90% affects our food. The sweet fruits humans eat such as, strawberries, mangoes, grapes, apples, and bananas would not be the same taste wise as they are now. We simply couldn’t live in the same world if it weren’t for the bees.

I chose this topic because of how important it is. Despite our fears and allergies to this species of insect, they have so much meaning and impact on our lives.Their appearance frightens many of us and leas to us shooing them away as if they have no affect on our world and the nature that surrounds us; when, in fact, that have a whole lot to do with not only what we eat but our society as well. Our strong usage of pesticides and insecticides have extremely harmful effects of the bees, causing for their population to decline.So, what exactly do honeybees do? The most commonly known and important job of these insects is pollination; the act of bees and other pollinators transferring pollen from the anther of the flower of a plant to the stigma,

The honey bee is the substructure of the human population. It is imperative that the world knows about the decline of honey bees and work together to save the honey bee population. Nearly one-third of the world's crops are dependent on honeybees, but over the last decade the black and yellow insects have been dying at an unexpected rate in the United States. Pesticides, disease, poor weather, and the stress of being taken from one orchard to another to pollinate different crops all play a role in the decline of the honey bee. The honey bee as a species is not in danger of extinction, but a large portion of our food supply is, because the honey bee no longer has the ability to support the industry of commercial pollination. Without honey

Bees are some of the most feared insects on the planet but aside from their sting they are quite a complex and beneficial creature. There are over 20,000 species of bees on the planet (Spivak,2013). They are often associated with honey however, they play a far more important role, they pollinate. Bees are responsible for about 80 percent of pollination worldwide and a single colony is able to pollinate upwards of 300 million flowers each day (Greenpeace.org). Although there are ways for human pollination it is often a painstaking and time-consuming process. Studies have also shown that human pollination is not as effective (Spivak, 2013)). With 90 percent of the worlds nutrition dependent upon bees we need to support the bees with pollination (Greenpeace.org). If we want to continue enjoying the many foods bees provide for us we

As a board member of Project Apis m., and the president of the California State Beekeepers Association, you are probably well aware that honey bee populations are in rapid decline all over the world. They play quite a significant role in the production of the various crops humans consume on a day to day basis. I am writing to you because I believe we have similar goals. I am particularly concerned with the severity of the diminishing bee population and the negative outcome this will have on our food.

The decline in bee population has negative repercussions which will cause irreplaceable damages if not helped.

I was inspired by the stimulus document “A World without Work,” by Derek Thompson. In the document, Derek talks about the social and economic concerns with machines replacing factory workers, but he completely ignores the environmental impact that humans make. Because of this, I wanted to focus on an environmental issue that faces the U.S today that we as humans can help solve.

Bee decline is a sustainability issue due to it affecting environmental, economical and socio-cultural concepts. The decline in bees affects the environment due to the need for interdependence. All species play a role in the ecosystem; therefore damage in one area of the system through the decline of the bees causes change to other areas (Littledyke, 2009). This is due to flowering plants requiring pollination. Without bees providing pollination, the plants cannot produce food crops and reproduce to form other plants, causing decreases in the biodiversity of plant species (The University of Waikato, 2012). This not only affects biodiversity of plants, but also means other animal life is affected as food

“If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.” –Albert Einstein (…). Renowned scientist, Albert Einstein, expresses his concern for a possible environmental catastrophe. Fortunately, the theory is irrational and unrealistic when it comes to the extinction of humans, but his line of thought was correct. Major consequences would result from an Earth without bees. Unfortunately, the bees are currently suffering through an epidemic. Since the 1990’s, bee populations, globally, have plummeted (…). Bees play a key role in major ecosystems

The environmental change associated with the decline of the honeybee in America has gained much attention in the past decade as scientists and farmers have come to terms with the seriousness of the issue on hand. The importance of the bee has been emphasised and acknowledged as the human race is now forced to deal with a life threatening issue.

Without pollinators, plants and life as we know it will cease to be. Unfortunately, honey bees, along with other pollinators, are perishing and vanishing at an alarming rate. There is a plethora of information on the topic; in libraries, online, and in scientific journals. However, both the cause and any solutions have continued to eluded experts for over a decade. This disastrous issue has plagued entomologists for years, and has the potential to affect agriculture on a global scale. If not remedied soon, agriculture, ecosystems, and eventually people, will suffer immensely.

Poisonous and dangerous insects plague the world in which we live. The following three are among the most dangerous in America. Understanding their danger can give you a clue as to why they need to be removed from your home or property as soon as possible.

Because there are many different factors contributing to the death and disappearance of bees, there are many different angles from which the issue can be addressed. These range from actually implementing changes into our everyday lifestyles to simply spreading awareness among those around us. I have developed a three-phase plan which I thought best to tackle all possible angles of the

Honey bees, feared by the misinformed and admired by the intelligent, are dying. The interest in bees from many environmentalists is not for a sudden cause, as this issue is not new to the world. Honey bees as a population have been in decline for years but have yet to reach the endangered species list anywhere in the United States except for Hawaii. Many people kill bees that buzz around joyfully, simply because they are afraid of being stung by them; however, a vast majority of bees do not sting and the others do not care. This unfortunate commonality is not even one of the top causes of the worldwide epidemic of honey bees. Although bees are jokingly idolized on the internet in pictures and videos as a result of a popular children’s movie, their population decline is in fact quite serious. Honey bees and other pollinators like birds and insects ensure the pollination of flowering plants and crops all around the globe. Not only do honey bees pollinate plants that produce the foods that humans eat, but they also pollinate trees that produce clean oxygen for Earth. Without honey bees, the world as we know it could soon end, due to carbon dioxide pollution and lack of farmable foods. The population of honeybees and other important pollinator-bee species is dwindling due to a dilemma known to scientists as colony collapse disorder (CCD) because of the use of bee-killing pesticides, known as neonicotinoids, the decrease of flower meadows in the world, and the general increase
