    Many people do not know that honey bees’ lives are in danger. Over the last

decade the population of honey bees have decreased, because of chemicals and mites

attacking the bees. What people do not realize is that honey bees provide pollination of

seeds in which necessary plants grow. Not only honey bees but wasps, butterflies, and

bumblebees provide similar jobs in order for humans to survive.  Many people believe

bees are trying to tell us they need our help in order to survive. It is people’s jobs to raise

awareness of colony collapse disorder and help save the bees. Some things people can

do to help save bees are more people can become beekeepers and  raise awareness.

    One thing some people can do is become a beekeeper. By becoming a

beekeeper they are strengthening the bee gene pool by adding healthy local bees.  This

is important, because beekeepers help to increase the population of the  honey bees.

People can become a backyard beekeepers and learn about bees and how they work

while giving back to environment. After becoming beekeeper and getting closer with the

honey bees, some say they get very attached and find a new hobby.

 

 Another thing people can do is raise awareness. By raising  awareness people are giving


bees a voice.  One thing people can do  to raise awareness is protest  to the

 

way bees are treated. This is important because, people need to recognize  bees

provide a lot for humans and the environment. If enough people raise their voice thing

 

can change for the better.
