The Bee's Crisis

Bees, the insects all of nature depends on to keep it sustainable, are now slowly disappearing. Without bees we would barely be able to eat the various amounts of food that we eat. Instead of eating tons of delicious fruits and vegetables, we would be eating porridge and some nuts. If we do not save the population of bees, it will all be gone.

What is the bee population like today? Well numbers are dropping, and have by dying in huge numbers over the past decade. The problem is that people are not noticing. The bee is considered a sacred animal, because it mainly started the human civilization. If it were not for them, we would not have as many flowers and various plants as we do today. In fact most of them would not even exist, if it weren't for them. Humans would not have fruit like apples and peaches, no nuts like almonds, or beautiful flowers like lavender or sunflowers. And the reason why the population of bees is decreasing, is because of how they are being treated.

Many bees are being transported to other countries in the world. Where they are forced to work in areas called mono-cultural farms. Mono-cultural farms, are farms that only produce one crop. For example, almond tree farms, thousands of them are contained in the farm, where the bees are forced to pollinate them. This hurts the bees, because there is not a vast variety of crops to pollinate. Not to mention, the bees are being abused with chemicals, like pesticides, that corporate farms use to create the food. It affects them by losing navigation and memory, because bees can not fight off chemicals, because their bodies are not built for that. Plus people are hurting the queen bees, by interbreeding with manufactured   sperm, which causes problems in who the bees are being produced. Naturally bees are being produced by the queen bee who flies around for about a day or so while male bees, from different hives, give her their sperm to her, so that when she gets back to the hive, she can then reproduce offspring that are bio-diversed and are perfectly healthy bees, without any manufactured problems. But many queen bees are often being produced, and then shipped to factories that inject the manufactured genes for a bee. This is unfair, because bees are being pushed to work themselves to death. Which is why the bee population is decreasing, and people need to realize the problem, and figure out a solution to save the bees.

But how can this get out to people around the world. To get them to know that this is a huge problem. There have already been documentaries, and articles to tell people, but that is not enough. To ways that it can be publicized to the world is by starvation and fascination. With starvation, countries around the world can show the people what the world is like without any bees, and raise up the food prices of the produces that were already produced. But in my opinion, that is a little to harsh, Instead countries can start a new trend of growing their own produce in their backyards which will create a healthy environment and a healthy diet. This will help the bee population and the health of people world wide.

Even though the bee population is decreasing, some people are realizing that, and are helping to restore the bees by becoming beekeepers. Today bee keeping is becoming more popular, and is now allowed to be on rooftops of city buildings since 2010. But bee keeping is not the only thing people could do to help the bee population, simply planting various flowers for bees to come in a pollinate is a great and easy way. Also, leave water in the garden by plants, because bees, like humans, get thirsty. So please help the bees, because they depend on us, and we depend on them to make our world a beautiful place.
