The Importance of Bees

As you know, bees are the most important pollinators in the world. They are winged little insects which play extremely important role in our lives. They are needed for production of healthy food for humans and other animals.

Throughout the recent years the population of bees is rapidly dropping. That is because of disappearance of their natural habitat but also because of the use of toxic pesticides. These threats are the same for the woodland and trees. So if you want to save the bees, you also save the trees.

Disappearance of their natural habitat is caused by urban development and invasive farming. Wildflower meadows are destroyed by human action with the intention of expanding cities and roads.

Toxic pesticides are increasingly used in every field of food production. Pesticides are used to kill pests but they also kill the bees. That is when the bee comes to pollinate the flower and absorbs the pesticide; it is very harmful for them.

Even though there are still ways how to live in harmony and not destroying their homes. If we could plant more flowers around the cities and build some bee nests, there could be great symbiosis. The best ways to save the bees is to plant more bee-friendly flowers and plants at your own garden, stop using pesticides and also you can build the shelter for bees. Another thing you can consider is cutting grass with flowers after the plants finished blooming.
