Bees are in decline on a global scale as they face many threats, from habitat loss to the use of toxic pesticides. Many of the threats to bees share parallels with the threats to trees and woodland, so saving bees goes hand-in-hand with saving trees. If these threats aren’t brought under control, we could be looking at a future without bees. Habitat loss An increase in urban developments and invasive farming methods has meant that many of the areas bees once called home no longer exist. These developments are as much a threat to bees as they are to trees and woodland. In the wild, several species of bee nest in hollow trees, so as more trees are destroyed so are the homes these bees live in. Wildflower meadows and other areas abundant in flowering plants are also in serious decline, meaning that bees lose an important food resource. Use of pesticides One of the main threats to our beloved bees is the use of toxic pesticides. Whilst pesticides are designed to kill pests, due to their intense toxicity they are having an adverse effect on other insects too, including bees. Neonicotinoids in particular cause bees a great deal of harm, as when they are sprayed onto plants they are absorbed. So, when a bee comes to pollinate said plant, it will ingest this pesticide. This can seriously damage the bee’s central nervous system.

Lab tests showed that massive doses of these two compounds caused cancer and other disorders in laboratory animals.

He said they will be ready for the end of this month. I have plenty of wild flowers. I now have 6 apple trees, 2 hoarse chestnuts, 5 Linden a few maples and a couple of Butternut trees. Plenty of feed for bees in the neighborhood. I'm looking for ward to having them around. He said he is going to split some of his colonies Edited May 13, 2021 by WeednFeed Hunter1948 1 Awards
