  • About Bees
  • Farming, Pesticides, and mono-cropping
  • Climate Change and Pollution
  • Bees are insects (and arthropods) that pollinate about one-third of the crops we eat. Pollination is important for humans and animals; bees give us food and medicine. Bees have a head, a thorax, and an abdomen. Although many are yellow and black, colors like green, blue, or red are also common. Female bees have stingers.They have exoskeletons, jointed appendages, and segmented bodies. They are bilaterial.
  • Population Statistics
  • Farmers are using pesticides on their plants, which is a big factor in the death of bees. A popular method of farming, mono-cropping, is also dangerous for bees. Mono-cropping is the process of planting the same crops on the same land every year. Mono-cropping is bad for bees, because it increases the need for pesticides.
  • Affects of the dying population
  • Climate change is causing habitat loss for bees, and the temperature change is messing up the pattern of plant growth and pollination. A bee might not be ready to feed on a flower's pollen, because the flower bloomed at a different time than usual. Pollution makes it difficult to sniff out flowers and crops, which decreases pollination rates up to 1/3. Air pollution brings toxic chemicals into bees, killing them, or spreading into the flowers they pollinate. Habitat Loss is made worse by the increase in urban building.
  • What to do to help
  • Loss of bees populations have doubled since before 2006. Now, there is a loss of bees at 30% each winter, instead of 10-15%. Although, in the US, the loss of bees went up to 40%. Certain bees like the Rusty Patched Bumblebee, have been added to the endangered list, and more than 40% of bees are vulnerable to extinction.
  • Bees are vital resources, and without them, we would lose up to 30% of our food supply. A decline in bees causes lower biodiversity, and decreases crop population. And a lack of crops will affect all of the animals who need those crops to survive.
  • Here are some ways to help the bees: Grow more trees, eat more bee-friendly foods (foods without pesticides), use less pesticides and insecticides, do more research, and build more homes for bees. Plant more flowers as well.
