Plight of the Bees

Bees are a very sacred animal, but sadly they are suddenly disappearing.  Although their recognition is expressed through different human cultures, Their reputation throughout the world is a huge misunderstanding.  If the bees are vanished, with a series of events, all life will also vanish.  If Americans  don’t make a change soon, nature as we know it, will be distinguished.  Americans need to spread the ideas of beekeeping, and think twice about using pesticides.

Beekeeping is a method of raising bees in an enclosed area, keeping them safe and healthy.  If there is available time, use it to save the bees!  The bees will adapt to their new living situation quickly.  It is helpful to collect a hive instead of separate bees for you and the bees.  Creating small gardens in a backyard or around a bee enclosure will help the bees pollinate and save all nature! Pollination helps plants grow, and those healthy plants create nutrients and oxygen for the rest of life.  

Bees also look to flowers for nutrients as well.  Most pesticides contain a toxin called neonicotinoid.  It stays in the soil for years which can stop fresh nutrients to flowers.  When the number of flowers are reduced, So will the number of bees.  The bees will not have a primary source of energy to help them survive and help all life survive.  Natural pesticides such as putting up bird boxes will not only benefit the plants, but all bees. 

On the other hand, critics may say that humans won't make a difference to the living creatures. The bees will continue to die off or disappear on their own, no matter what. Although the help from Americans will not show drastically, over a period of time, the bees will gradually increase their population. Therefore my opinion is uncontrodictable.

In conclusion, bees are the biggest provider for all life.  They are vanishing by the day.  If they disappear completely, so will all life.  There are many different ways to save nature, including thinking twice about pesticides and consider beekeeping.
