What’s Killing the Honeybees

Einstein said, “If the bees go extinct, the human race will disappear within 4 years.” 

This phrase, which has been quoted a lot this year, was an incorrect quote,
but the reason why it was so appealing is because of the disappearance of the bees.

ÆTHER
Just ask the donkey in me
To speak to the donkey in you,

When I have so many other beautiful animals
And brilliant colored birds inside
That are longing to say something wonderful
And exciting to your heart?

Let’s open all the locked doors upon our eyes
That keep us from knowing the Intelligence
That begets love
And a more lively and satisfying conversation
With the Friend.

Let’s turn loose our golden falcons
So that they can meet in the sky
Where our spirits belong–
Necking like two
Hot kids.

Let’s hold hands and get drunk near the sun
And sing sweet songs to God
Until He joins us with a few notes
From his own sublime lute and drum.

If you have a better idea
Of how to pass a lonely night
After your glands may have performed
All their little magic
Then speak up sweethearts, speak up,
For Hafiz and all the world will listen.

Why just bring your donkey to me
Asking for stale hay
And a boring conference with the idiot.

In concise, detailed text and abundant illustrations that range from the humorous
to the scientific, Charles Micucci is the author of The Life and Times of the Honeybee.

Micucci offers a wide-ranging and spirited introduction to the life cycle,
social organization, and history of one of the world’s most useful insects.
He includes information on how bees make honey, what a beekeeper does,
and products that contain beeswax—everything from lipstick to waxes for
buffing surfboards. Micucci’s rare gift for making science enjoyable and
accessible is again revealed in this remarkably witty, rich salute to the honeybee.

Today is the global environmental protection day established by nature protectors to inform the seriousness of the global environmental pollution problem. Einstein said, “If the bees go extinct, the human race will disappear within four years.” This phrase, which has been quoted a lot this year, was an incorrect quote, but the reason why it was so appealing is because of the disappearance of the bees.

That is why the impact of this situation was huge.

Bumblebees are particularly vulnerable to rising temperatures Climate change could weigh on the size of bees and bumblebees, according to a study published this Wednesday in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. In the United States, researchers studied more than 20,000 insects of the bee family over eight years in the Rocky Mountains to study how they reacted to climate change. According to the study, the mountain area from which the samples are.

In the United States, researchers studied more than 20,000 insects of the bee family over eight years in the Rocky Mountains to study how they reacted to climate change.

According to the study, the mountain area from which the samples are taken is “particularly vulnerable” to climate alterations.

The researchers found that the abundance of specialized nest comb diggers and large bees decreased with rising temperatures. The number of smaller soil-nesting bees is increasing, however.

Bumblebees particularly at risk

Thus, the study suggests that climate change “could radically reshape bee communities”.

Populations of bumblebees, leafcutter bees and mason bees are notably declining, with bumblebees currently being the most threatened by global warming.
These results are consistent with other studies showing that bumblebees, the dominant pollinators in many ecosystems, have lower heat tolerance.
The size of their body and their behavior at the nest would make them more vulnerable to a warming climate.

Insects in danger:
In general, researchers fear that global warming will have “cascading effects on pollination and ecosystem functioning”.
The loss of larger bees, which fly further to forage, could lead to a reduction in long-distance pollination.
Insects are the main pollinators in the world: 75% of the 115 main crops (cocoa, coffee, almonds, cherries) depend on animal pollination.
In a 2019 report, scientists concluded that almost half of all insect species in the world are in decline, and that a third could be extinct by the end of the century.

How climate change will affect the development of bees.

A US study shows that rising temperatures lead to ecosystem dysfunction by forcing certain species of bees to migrate

According to a study published Wednesday in the journal: The Royal Society Proceedings B

The change in temperature observed in the Rocky Mountain region of North America directly affected the behavior of bees.

To reach these conclusions, the researchers studied the evolution of more than 20,000 bees for eight years, reports Slate

A total of 154 bee species were observed.

During the study, global warming led to a decrease in bumblebees and large bees such as honey bees and mason bees or even “leaf cutters”, which left to seek fresh air at higher altitudes.

Conversely, smaller, ground-nesting bees are increasingly numerous.

Bad news for the environment

According to the results of the study, this situation could prove harmful for the environment since pollination and the functioning of ecosystems are directly impacted.

Researchers now fear a “cascading effect” due to the decrease in the number of large bees and therefore pollination over long distances, the latter tending to fly further to feed.

In addition, 75% of the world’s 115 major food crops depend on animal pollination carried out mostly by insects.

However, according to our colleagues, the total mass of insects decreases by 2.5% each year and a third of the species could have disappeared by the end of this century.

The Birds and The Bees | TED Radio Hour – YouTube

“The birds and the bees” may be a euphemism for human reproduction, but procreation of actual winged animals is far wilder. This hour, TED speakers explore how birds, bees and bugs multiply. Guests include beekeeper Noah Wilson-Rich, biologist Carin Bondar, behavioral ecologist Marlene Zuk and comedian Julia Sweeney. This episode was produced by Katie Monteleone, James Delahoussaye, Fiona Geiran, and Katherine Sypher. It was edited by Rachel Faulkner and Katie Simon. 00:37 – Noah Wilson-Rich: How city habitats help honeybees to thrive 13:16 – Carin Bondar: Eggs and the genius of bird moms 28:03 – Marlene Zuk: What humans can learn from the sex lives of insects 43:54 – Julia Sweeney: When it’s finally time to have “The Talk” WHAT IS “TED RADIO HOUR”?
