Plight of bees
When you see a bee you usually run, hide or even kill it,but if it weren’t for bees our ecosystem would be crashed to the ground in the speed of light. Bee’s help this earth in many ways by pollinating and giving us our source of honey. If bee’s die we will no longer have help with pollination or creating honey. What’s it going to take for you to wake up and make a change?
Bees pollinate tons of plants like celery, onion, broccoli, cucumber, strawberry, watermelon and of course flowers such as daisies,tulips,and roses. Pollination is the process by which pollen is transferred in the reproduction of plants, thereby enabling fertilization and sexual reproduction. Pollination is like humans having a baby, if no one reproduces at all the population then will get smaller and smaller then become extinct while with bees if we have none they can’t pollinate. Therefore if they can’t pollinate we will not have our fruits and vegetable and flowers and if we don’t have those then the animals the bees pollinate will start to slowly die.Another fact is that if both plants and animals are gone humans will end up dying.
If there is no bees there will be no honey. Honey is used in various foods, beverages, sweeteners, and flavoring. For example, honey can be by itself,used on bread,put in tea,with a banana,put into cereal,etc. Honey has also been used by humans as medicine taken by mouth and put on topically to treat various things such as gastric disturbances, ulcers, wounds, and burns. Another great thing about honey is that it never spoils.
Some would say bees reproduce quickly. Although that may be true,many bees are required to pollinate so much plant, fruit, and nut life. Which means even if you do kill one bee you’re interfering with the bee’s process and that one bee could have pollinated that fruit,vegetable or even flower.In my opinion we all should leave bees alone and let them pollinate, and produce honey they are no harm to us.
To conclude bees are very helpful for everyday life. Bees can make honey, pollinate crops and flowers, and help medically. Bees should not be killed because they are not harmful at all in reality they are just helping us and making life easier by pollinating something we don’t need to do. If nobody takes their stand and leave the bees alone, or become beekeepers to help the bees, we are going to soonly have an extinction of bees which means there will be no honey.That also means some medicines honey gives us we wont have, no honey combs to get wax from to make candles, some of the foods we have now will not be here, eventually the animals that eat those fruits, plants, and nut they won’t have and die and the ecosystem will come crashing down so take your stand and don’t kill bees.
