Estiven's bee essay


Bee Essay
Bees pollinate about 80% of our flowering crops which accounts for about one third of what people consume. Most people are unaware of this so they continue through their everyday lives not knowing how important bees are to the existence of mankind. Humanity needs to stop being so reckless and treat bees like people because without them who knows where humanity would be.
People are so careless they probably will not do anything about the bees’ colony collapse disorder situation until it gets to a point where it is too late to reverse the effects mankind has caused. Many people are making bee farms to keep bees safe from pesticides and other harmful chemicals but just a few people by themselves can’t stop the bees’ situation. Also, companies who use bees for profit can make a difference if they just plant a few crops or flowers that bees can eat so they can survive when they dump them in the middle of nowhere to pollinate our crops but all the industries care about is making a profit. Humanity will probably not do anything to stop the bees colony collapse disorder because most people are selfish and only care about their own problems and they don’t even bother to even think about the bees conflict.
If people do not do anything about the colony collapse disorder then bees will go extinct and that will bring many problems for humanity. For starters we will have significantly less wax to use but most importantly 80% of our plants will not be pollinated which will make food prices go up and many people could die from starvation. If bees die off plants will not be the only ones affected because without plants we have nothing to feed our cows and pigs and that will affect our meat and dairy supply. With all this happening the human race could possibly go extinct along with bees.
We must spread the word about the importance of bees and make a difference because bees are very important to our agriculture and we must start treating them like people and respect them because without bees the human race could possibly go extinct.
