Welcome
back my fellow learners, today we are going to talk about
environmental issues, and the decline of the bee is a big part of it
believe it or not.
Pesticides have played a big part in killing off bees. The biggest reasons for global bee disappearances can be strongly linked to industrial agriculture, pathogens and the extreme climate change. The wide spread use of pesticides that kill bees are particular threats for every honeybee and wild pollinators.
To protect our bees we have to move away from destructive industrial agriculture, and move more towards ecological farming. First steps would be to ban all bee pesticides, create a bee action program, and lastly, push for ecological farming
Bees and other similar insects play essential role in our ecosystems. A third of our food strongly depend on their pollination. A world without these is devastating for all food production.
After
all, who else could pollinate all crops? Hand-pollination is labour
intensive, slow and very expensive. The economic value of pollination
via bees has been estimated around 265 billion Euro annually, and
this folks is worldwide. So, from a purely economic outlook, it does
actually benefit us to protect bees.
Bee
killing pesticides pose the greatest risk to these tiny pollinators.
The main reason for global bee disappearance is strongly linked to
industrial agriculture, pathogens and climate change.
Although
the role of insecticides linked with the global decline of
pollinators stay brushed under the carpet, it is getting increasingly
evident some insecticides, that are concentrated routinely in the
current chemical agriculture system, give negative effects on the
safety of pollinators, both individually and at colony level.
So there
you go my lovelies, this gives you food for thought, pardon the pun,
that these tiny insects are directly linked to humankind's survival.
