Declining Bee Population Blog
ByThere are many reasons the bee population is on a decline, all the same level of importance and causing roughly the same steep decline.
Ecological issues:
The first ecological issue is loss of habitat, bees habitats are being destroyed due to the people who are scared of getting stung so they proceed to whack beehives with a baseball bat. With that comes deforestation, bees make hives on trees, cutting them down is destroying Their habitats.
Bees are used to having a good source of pollen but people abandoning farms and gardens messes up their pollen count, causing them to not pollinate for us and animals to eat the pollinated plants. They will also go to that location thinking they will find flowers but find nothing.
Another issue is lack of friendly plants and flowers, bees only pollinate certain flowers, without those flowers bees are just normal bugs.
Use of pesticides has such a big impact on them they have started dying. They get covered in this pesticide and fly back to the hive and spread them. The bee with the pesticide on it may have to go near the still developing bees and may end in them dying.
One more really big one is sudden weather changes, bees have to get used to the weather cycle and know when it’s safe to go out and when it isn’t, with the weather going through odd changes it confuses the bees and they end up going to pollenate very early or even very late.
