Who knew that such a small organism could have such a great
impact on our lives without realizing it. Bees have been recognized as sacred
animals to many human cultures, and unfortunately, an enemy to others. Most
people were raised believing how harmless bees can be, but we were very wrong.
Due to the Colony Collapse Disorder, which is the cause of the disappearance
and killing of bees, we could lose about one fourth of our crops. We need bees
in order to survive.
Bees have been informing us not to use pesticides, artificial
breeding, and other industrial beekeeping practices, but we recalcitrant humans
have ignored them. Therefore, in order to obey and prevent further damage to
the bees and risk of our lives, we should support organic farmers and boycott
industrial agriculture. With the purpose of doing so, and “waking up” the mass
of people to the plight of the bees, we should begin spreading the news,
informing and encouraging others, before it is too late.
If we do not act now, this issue will become a great dilemma,
causing many deaths of bees and a shorter term of our own survival. Bees are
beneficial to the world, and we should appreciate everything they have provided
us with and return the favor of helping them live.
