The United Nations Environment Programme says that bees are being threatened and the cause is because of pollution and agriculture. It is also said that there are fungal pathogens that are being passed around globally that are affecting the populations of the bees. The United Nations Environment Programme says that the decline in the populations of bees presents problems in biodiversity of plants and also food security. The United Nations Programme states that the decline in the population is a warning sign of other environmental damages and hopes that farmers will be offered incentive to take on more eco-friendly farming techniques. I once again agree that incentives are a good idea because more people will be inclined to take action. I think that it is important to take action because biodiversity is at stake and humans rely on bees for many things.

This is terrible the bees polunate other flowers entire species of flowers could be at risk.
ReplyDeleteTo be perfectly honest, I would personally not mind if we lost bees completely to extinction. However, I know the impact would actually be a negative one to the entire environment seeing as bee's play an important part in pollenating flowers, and they're part of the food chain. No matter what a species does, or how small it may be, If there's one thing I've learned in environmental science is the importance of biodiversity. All animals and plants serve some purpose, even if we as humans do not realize this. So, in conclusion to that, the bee's should be helped. Pollution is a negative thing in general, but when it begins to affect life, we know we have a serious problem.
