Save the Bees! Save them all! Without them, we will fall!
Save the bees! Save the bees! Save the bees! Save the bees! Save the bees! Save the bees! Save the bees!
The bees are an important species to our world, as they not only pollinate the beautiful flowers, but they also pollinate our fruits and vegetables. We need them to survive. Should they go extinct, so shall we. Chemicals and other hazardous things, that are pumped into our body, will not be able to keep us alive. We need to give up the chemical-bound pesticides and switch to natural resources.
Bees have been around longer than humankind. They have declined in numbers for generations due to the harsh, chemical, pesticides that seep into the soil and float into the air. We are contaminating our world! Honeybees have been around since the Cretaceous Period; over a hundred million years prior. Research conducted from 2014 to 2015 by Ballaro and Warhol, “…more than 40 percent of colonies were lost…” (6). Diseases and disorders take the lives of colonies, baffling scientists. These diseases and disorders can be connected to pesticides.
Save the bees! Save the bees! Save the bees! Save the bees! Save the bees! Save the bees!
Many will disagree that the honeybee population is declining and that the human population would never be affected. Jon Entine, an American science writer and consultant, believes that the honeybees are NOT dying off, which can be fun in his article “The Bee Apocalypse Was Never Real; Here’s Why”.
Save the bees! Save the bees! Save the bees! Save the bees! Save the bees! Save the bees!
Rachel Carson, an American marine biologist, author, and conservationist whose book “Silent Spring” and other writings are credited with advancing the global environmental movement. In her second chapter, “The Obligation to Endure”, she states that “…man’s assaults upon the environment is the contamination of the air, earth, rivers, and sea with dangerous and even lethal materials” (6). May I ask: would you like to inhale and ingest these pesticides? No? Neither do the honeybees! The human population has created chemical-based mixtures that have a terrible reaction to the environment and all living beings nearby. Though these chemicals kill off the bad pesticides, they are also killing the good ones. We need some sort of pesticide to feed off our land. Certain pests are good for the environment and there are natural sources to fend off the bad.
Some of the good things to use, that are natural, are:
- Salt Spray
- Orange Citrus Oil
- Neem Oil
- Eucalyptus Oil
- Hot Pepper Wax
- Garlic Spray
