Bee Essay

There is nothing we can be without our companions, the bees. None of this beauty we see every day will be around if we continue letting them disappear. Sadly, humans do not realize this situation. It is oblivious to humans, the smartest beings on this planet, but not to all the other animals. The other animals understand the importance of bees and how they are the basic life unit for every consumer. These wonderful creatures produce our food. Without them everything will perish.
One of the biggest thing killing bees is the toxins and pesticides that are used in fields today, which is caused by humans. A question has been asked of: When will people “wake up” to the problem of the disappearance in bees? Honestly, I don’t think humans will be realizing this problem any time soon. If the problem is brought up, many will not see the importance of a simple bee. The only way I can see people realizing this situation, is if they are educated on the importance of bees in our ecosystem and all that they do and provide for us.
If this situation is never understood, then it will affect the earth tremendously. Especially since bees will continue to die and eventually be gone if things do not change. Without bees, no plants can get pollinated and many will not survive. Some plants that may not survive can be some of the most important to humans and their lives. I just hope that others can come to realize the problems of bee and our ecosystem today.

Bee Essay

Recently, bees have been dying in large numbers. The colony collapse has been blamed on many things. Introducing bees from Australia, resistant diseases, and pesticides. However, the general public does not care that much about the dying of bees. Some things must have to happen in order to increase public awareness.

There could be actions done by the government, but since the opposite of PROgress is CONgress, you can't do much there. It would have to come in the form of making companies not use the harmful pesticides, by either protest or boycotting. There could, however, be the hard way.

The issued could be forced in the public spotlight when honey and food prices increase to noticeably inconvenient levels. Then, There would be an actual crisis at hand. People would actually start to care and the issue would be a priority in the government, and something would actually get passed.

That is why there is a need for public awareness. People will either get aware through others speaking up, or the hard way where people are actually inconvenienced.

Bees, they sting, they can kill some of us, and they might even scare some of us. Yes they are annoying but they are a big key to our society. So we need to react really quickly to this whole colony collapse disorder, because it is bringing our world down to a fall. Bees have been considered sacred animals all there life, why do we not still consider them as sacred animals anymore? These bees are dying every second and if we do not start reacting to this we might not be able to live.

In the egyptian times, the bees were considered sacred and were for bidden to be touched or harmed, and only the bee keepers were allowed to take care of them. The beekeeper job is a really important one  even now, that bees are being more and more extinct. These bees are dying because of commercial bee keeping, which is really bad for the bees because, they are injecting the bees with really bad chemicals which are shown to make bees produce honey faster then organic bee's, but has really bad side effects.

We should not be thinking about how much honey or how much bees wax bees are going to give us, we should be worrying about how many bees are left and if we are going to have to create more of the bee hives so that the bees now were to go if they would ever be in trouble.  Most people might think that bees are not really important and all but they are really important to our world and society.

In my opinion it will take a massive hit in the back of the head for us to wake up, and to understand that this is really bad! That we should not be playing with bees and let the bees do their own thing. I think the worst that can happen is that there are no more bees, and if there are no more bees their is no more light and we would not be able to survive. There are many issues we have with this colony collapse disorder and if we do not fix it we might face really bad things in the future.
