Honey Bees Persuasive Essay

Imagine you walk into your local bistro to order your favorite tea with honey and you were told there is no honey available. How would you feel? Would you want to become a beekeeper or have a bee garden? This is why ordinary people should take action to make sure that honey bees do not become extinct. More people need to care about this problem, and take action to prevent it from ever happening. By putting these plans into action we can keep the bee population growing and ensuring the local economy has a supply of honey. Ordinary people should become beekeepers or create bee gardens to save the bees and the local economy.

Since the late 1800’s, scientists have studied the belief that it is aerodynamically impossible for bumblebees to fly. When observing a bumble bee, scientists would look at the size or mass of the body in comparison to the structure of the tiny wings. The conclusion was that a bumble bee, based on their engineered design, should not be able to fly because it was not able to get sufficient lift from the wind due to their much larger bodies. Simply, the bumble bee overcame the obstacle presented to it, based on the laws of physics should not fly, but did. Like the bumble bee, I have overcome my own obstacle, Epilepsy, to succeed. Despite the fear of having a seizure in public or missing classes due to medical crises, I have the confidence

Bees are essential to everyday life, without the pollination provided by them, crops would not grow as abundantly or healthily and wildlife would have less food to eat, causing their population to dwindle. They are immensely important to the delicately balanced ecosystem of the Earth, however their unfortunate reputation precedes them and people simply seem to be happy not to have to deal with bee stings.

This brings me to my third point, how every day humans like you can save the bees. According to the human society, they recommend planting bee friendly plants in your backyard. These include native wild flowers, or any flowers that are blue, purple, white, or yellow. As I mentioned in my first point, bees are attracted to anything bright and fragrant. Also, if you can start eliminating any garden pesticides you might use right now, and support your local beekeepers. And buy local, organic food from farmers that you know. Savebees.org also recommends providing homes for native bees – these homes can be any wood cavity nesting with some damp soil. Bees are thirsty insects, putting a small basin of fresh water outside your home will be greatly

The bees are pollinators vital to our food chain. In addition to making honey, one third of the food we eat depends on their pollination.

Think of a supermarket. You walk down the aisles, but almost everything is gone. You assume it is either a mishap at the factory or they are bottom down out of stock. But these options won’t be available in twenty years. The only option would be: The bees are dead. The amount of bees in the world is declining at an alarming rate, and nobody's doing anything about it. No more bees in the world would mean world hunger, devastation, and mass extinction. This is because bees pollinate almost 100% of all produce brought into factories and stores. This is also the produce that is fed to cows, and other livestock that we get our meat from. This will mean no meat, and barely any produce. The reasons listed are why we should care for bees.

People often have a misconception that bees do not play a vital role in our everyday lives, and stinging is their only function in the world. However, this could not be farther from the truth. In fact, bees actually are at the center of our lives and are essential for most of life on earth. Our club’s goal is to help the bees by creating a garden in the USCHS area that is bee-friendly and also to inform people about the significance of bees and how they can help avert this crisis.

Bees are insects that have a major job in the ecosystem, they collect pollen and nectar and pollinate flowers which in return provides many fruits and vegetables that are consumed on a daily bases, they are one of earth's most essential and diligent species of animals.Without them humans would not be able to survive as efficiently as when there are bees. Unfortunately, over the years the population of the bees has been declining in numbers for multiple reasons and will ultimately result in extinction. The very existence of bees is what provides humans and other species of animals with the products that we use everyday, not only that but they are also responsible for the lives of many crops. Because of how necessary the bees are there should

The vast majority of bee deaths are caused by pesticides. There are two ways honey bees can be killed by insecticides. One way is by direct contact, in which the honey bee is immediately killed. The second, more deadly way is when the bee comes in contact with an insecticide and transports it back to the colony (“Pollination”). Two pesticides that are at fault for the decline in the bee population are neonicotinoids and coumaphos. They affect bees’ brains and make them slower learners. Neonicotinoids are a newer pesticide that targets bees’ central nervous systems. Both pesticides make bees forget floral scents, which interferes with their ability to pollinate plants (“The Harmful”).

I think we should focus more on measures to protect bees so that they do not become extinct. One reason I think this is because they make honey! It is really good and you can not make honey without bees. It is also another good food source for people to buy and the bee farmer to make money on if they choose to sell their honey.

For instance, in the last couple of years, dozens of insecticides and fungicides “adopted for use on an extensive variety of farm crops as well as ornamental landscape plants” known as neonicotinoids have been singled out as paramount contributors to Colony Collapse Disorder, a phenomenon in which a drastic majority of worker bees

However, it seems to effect Honey Bees. Neonicotinoids (pesticide) relied on large, unrealistic doses and gave bees no other choice for pollen. In 2008, Germany revoked the registration of the neonicotinoid for use on corn seed, after an incident of hundreds of honey bees nearby died. This however made bee keepers load their trucks and move around the country to pollinate crops. Growers’ payed bee keepers to bring honey bees to their fields to ensure pollination. Honey bees are biological indicators, meaning that honey bees health, reflects the general health of the environment. By using neonicotinoids, they harm bees by making them susceptible to fungus and mites. Which decreases the reproduction of Honey Bees. It effects honeybees economically and environmentally thought out the world,

If you were anything like me when I was a kid you were terrified of bees. It was scary to think that such a little insect could hurt someone so easily. I would always run away screaming from them when I was little, hoping they wouldn't land on me. I’m embarrassed to admit I still do this from time to time. When I was younger, I hated them so much I wished that they would all just go extinct. Today, I hope my wish never comes true, my past self would be very surprised. Bees are one of the many animals that are endangered and are arguably the most important one. BBC (2014) states that “[Bees] are critical pollinators; they pollinate 70 of the around 100 crop species that feed 90% of the world. [...] We may lose all the plants that bees pollinate, all of the animals that eat those plants and so on up the food chain.” Bees play a vital part in agriculture and our environment, and letting them go extinct could greatly hurt the worlds’ ecosystem and agriculture. If bees go extinct many important, delicious foods would disappear such as honey, dairy, fruits and vegetables. It is said that this could initiate a worldwide famine and raise all the prices of food. This would also make it hard for cotton to grow, and malnutrition would become a huge problem. There is even a possibility that it would create a worldwide crash because many food industries would go out of business (Grimminck, 2016). If bees go extinct it would affect everyone, no matter where they live. This is an

Biologists Antonina Rişcu and Marian Bura stand by the theory that pesticides play a large role in the endangerment of bee species in their article “The Impact Of Pesticides On Honey Bees And Hence On Humans.” The article includes other possible causes for the endangerment of bees, including parasites, disease, climate, and pesticides. However, the authors focus on the idea that beekeepers themselves could be poisoning the bees with the inappropriate use of pesticide products (Rişcu, 2013; Bura, 2013).

The loss of bees throughout America is a major problem currently and for the future as well. Honey makes up many foods we have today, such as: squash, blueberries, apples, and avocados. Without the bees we would not have any of the few foods I previously stated. Bees are an important factor for the environment that we barely even notice. Helping save the bees isn’t just saving the bees, but us as well! Involving you and your friends in this problem is crucial.
