If bees become extinct, the whole world will be hungry

According to the Chairman of the International Conference of Apimondia World Association of Apiculture Association, Gilles Ratia, the death rate of bees is now very large: from 20 to 40% per year.

Scientists believe that if bees that live on Earth die mass, it could be a disaster for humanity.

According to the Chairman of the International Conference of Apimondia World Association of Apiculture Association, Gilles Ratia, the death rate of bees is now very large: from 20 to 40% per year.

Bees are a very valuable insect for humans. Not only are they for honey, a food is also a valuable drug that they also pollinate the flowers, when they fly from one flower to another to suck the urge to "train" into honey.

Bees can exploit bile in most flowers, thus, fruiting rate increases. As a result, bees contribute invaluable to the increase in productivity for all plants.

In summary, for plants, bees have supported about 80% of plants for human life, accounting for 1/3 of the planet's population. If suddenly all the bees in the world disappear, the world will fall into a serious crisis of meat and milk products, vegetables and fruits.

Yet the existence of such beneficial insects is being threatened by many human-induced factors: the use of chemical pesticides in an indiscriminate, non-selective manner. no regulations; focus on specialization in cultivation (focus on cultivating only one type of monoculture to bring about temporary benefits); maintaining beekeeping techniques in a traditional way, not paying enough attention to improvement, applying new techniques of beekeeping.

Another reason affecting the development of bees is the appearance of parasites that cause disease to them, especially the tick-borne disease, whose scientific name is Varroa Oudemans, which causes them to die massively. Scientists have not helped much to eradicate this parasite.

Without timely measures to save bees, it will bring serious losses, even famine on a global scale.
