BEES

Bees
In recent times I have started going around the places outside the city where I have never gone before to know the realities and the reasons of each reality. And on a such visit was when I came across a group of bees which were dead in a farm.
When I enquired the farm keeper how did these bees die, they had no clue since they did not kill them or burn them for honey. So what exactly has happened? With this question I asked people who I know and with the help also from google I started receiving shocking news about the bees.
Since 1990s, beekeepers around the world have observed the mysterious and sudden disappearance of bees, and report unusually high rates of decline in honeybee colonies.

Bees make more than honey
- They are the key to food production because they only pollinate crops.
People when they talk about Bees they only talk about Honey and nothing much, but the reality is for us to be in this world we need food and they are the main reason to generate food for us.
We would have read this word in our schoolings – POLINATION. Every crop is been pollinated only by the bees, think if there are no bees, humans have to jump on to each and every crop to pollinate. Is this possible I don’t know?

Threat
A major threat to bees comes from the toxic chemical pesticides used in agriculture. Most of the pesticides are real bee-killers, which causes acute and chronic poisoning with deadly consequences for individual bees and entire colonies. If these bees take honey from these plants I am not sure if they are real honey?

A report says if honey bees are not there in this world man cannot live more than a year…. Of course they will start hunting animals…
Just a request to people who read this if you see bee hives are getting destroyed or people spraying pesticides on bees please stop them. Colonies and colonies of bees extinction in this world is not good to the environment and for us. Please share your thoughts..

NO BEES NO FOOD
Let’s save the Bees…

  1. Hi Prithvi,

    Good study though!! I have heard that in Kerala the govt are promoting farmers to do apiculture for which they provide loans, equipments & trainings.
    It would be good to start a small organization to promote such farming as a hobby so that the younger generation are attracted towards mainly as a means to get Natural food and or Medicine.
