This is why you should always leave a spoonful of sugar in the yard.

In recent years, there has been an extremely sad trend in the world: honey bees are disappearing en masse. Back in the early nineties, beekeepers noticed this strange phenomenon, and in 2006 it was already called “the syndrome of destruction of bee families”. Scientists cannot explain why this happens or what it is related to.





Editorial "Site" He will tell you how the bees are going to disappear and how you can make a difference. More serious than you think...

Few people think about this, but about 30% of all our food requires pollination by insects. honeybee. These little laborers are the glue of agricultural culture. And that was always the case, just no one thought about it until the bees started disappearing.

In 2006, American beekeepers sounded the alarm: their bees began to disappear in abnormal numbers. Beekeepers found honeycombs, wax, honey, but not the insects themselves. The mystery of their disappearance has not been solved. In 2013, a third of all bee colonies in the United States did not survive the winter. Bees died en masse or left the hives.





For comparison, this is 42% more than beekeepers usually lose. Previously, this figure was no more than 15% of the total. Scientists got agitated and began to investigate the situation, finding out the reasons. But why did it cause such panic? Is it really that serious?

And it really is very serious. If the bees disappear, people will also have a hard time. British zoologist, writer and TV presenter Sir David Attenborough He recently wrote on his Facebook page: “If bees disappeared from the face of the Earth, humans would not live more than four years.” Bees seem insignificant, but without them we have much to lose.

10 Consequences of Bee Extinction

1. If we lose bees, we will lose one of the most useful and versatile products on the planet – honey.
2. Many fruits and vegetables will stop growing, because no one will pollinate them. The BBC claims that without bees from grocery stores will disappear half of the goods: apples, avocados, peaches, watermelons and even coffee.
3. People will have to pollinate the plants themselves. But this is far from effective, and the process is very slow. It will only help to compensate for the loss of bees, but not replace it.
   
   
   
   
4. Dairy products will disappear. Why? Yes, because cows, sheep and goats for normal life requires alfalfa and other plants that pollinate bees.
5. Diversity will decrease. There will be enough crops to grow. And pigs and chickens do not need plants pollinated by bees. Imagine how the prices of these products will increase. Deficit products will weigh in gold.
6. The absence of certain foods in a person’s diet will lead to health problems. Studies show that bee pollinated foods give us calcium, iron and a range of vitamins. Without them, human health will deteriorate.
7. If we speculate and speculate, there is a high probability that due to the extinction of bees and all the ensuing consequences, the world economy will collapse, and in many countries even famine will begin. What about drone bees that kill people? This is something in the genre of dystopia.
   
   
   
   

Of course, all this is a little exaggerated, but life without bees promises us a lot of trouble. But there are still bees, so all is not lost. And each of us can help save these little insects that do us so much good. David Attenborough gave everyone a very simple advice: always leave a spoonful of sugar in your yard. The fact is that bees are often tired, they simply do not have the strength to return to the hive, because of which they die.

And such a sudden snack will help the bee and give it additional energy. Just mix two tablespoons of regular sugar with one tablespoon of pure water and place somewhere in the yard. It seems that this is insignificant, but if even a third of the world’s population does, many bees will be saved.

So you can become a superhero and save the world and humanity. To do this, you don’t need a powerful weapon, a steel suit or superpowers, just a spoonful of sugar and water. Save the bees right now!
