why

are

bees

so

important?

Did you know that bees pollinate 85% of our fruits and vegetables! That is one reason bees are so important to our planet.Without bees it would be much harder to survive and there would not be enough fruit and vegetables to feed everyone on earth.đ&#x;Œ?đ&#x;??đ&#x;˜„

why are bees endangerd?

Bees are endangerd for a lot of reasons. One reason is that farmers are putting chemicals called neo-nicotinides on their crops so that harmful insects dont harm or eat crops.But...sadly, they also affect the bees that are only trying to help pollinate the plants , then the bees get badly hurt because of the chemicals.Another cause bees dying is climate change.they find it very hard to cope because they are not used to the weather .Another reason is that a disease from China is coming to Europe and the bees from the middle of Europe cant cope with it, but the Chinese bees can survive because of the type and location they are in.

What are....

Neonicotonides

Bees are dying from chemicals on crops meant for harmful bugs or insects but also harm the bees.

We need to save the bees ,a sickness is going around the bees coming from china effecting the bees here in Europe.

85% of our food is pollinated by bees.

There are many crops in the hole world and bees polonate most of them.

They pollinate 40000 fruit trees. They are so important in the world that we are living in.

If bees died out we would die two years later. We would only live on soybeans and rice.

How it is on a Bee farm Our group went to visit an organic bee farm .The bees are kept in wooden boxes. The farmer collects the shiny part of the hive honey.Bee farmers have gear so the bees don't sting them.They wear a hat with a net over their face parts so the bees cant fit inside, and a white thick jacket.

Did you know bee farmers have brightly- colored jackets and clothes because the bees are less agressive to bright things.

FACT: bee farmers have a smoker to keep bees calm.
