1: The Death Of The Bee

Of course there are many different factors relating to the recent decline of bees. Some of the main reasons are:


  1. 97% of wildflower meadows, in the UK, have been removed. Either for building or farmland.
  2. Pesticides such as Neonicotinoid (NNI) can trigger a sort of 'bee epilepsy' and reduce breeding.
  3. Diseases spread from parasites, for example the Varroa destructor  latches itself onto the back of bees, to suck its blood whilst transmitting harmful infections.
These are 3 initial ideas that I could work toward to help the honey bee.
