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.
