Agriculture is asking where have all the bees gone. How will we?

Question

pollinate the crops if this truly a crisis?

Answer 1

We may have to grow more of those varieties of bees that do not inhabit hives. These wild bees seem more resilient.

Alternatively we may have to grow mostly crops that do not need bee pollination.

Answer 2

Several factors involved in the loss of our beloved honey bees. Pesticides, and vandalism to honeybee farms.  What can we do:  Home gardeners avoid using pesticides, like 7dust, etc. You can pollinate the plants yourself. I tried it with a summer squash. It worked. Birds, butterflies, wasp, etc also pollinate plants.

Answer 3

all the pollinate rs (bee's, butterflies, and other insects) have been slowly killed off by pesticides. besides the poisoning humans.  So I guess we will have to pollinate by hand.

Answer 4

There's no way we can do what the bees can do. People must realize that they can't do everything on Earth, and we have to realize that nature has the answer for some things that people are just too stupid and too lame to know or do. So we have to learn how to respect nature for some things. If you are serious about this cause you should go to helphoneybees.com. They have all the information you want to know about the crisis and the bees and more.

Answer 6

i dont think so

Answer 7

Pesticides are one of the cause in reduction in bee population. We must go for more organic pesticides to increase bee population.

Answer 8

our world is channging,weather,pollution,etc..i dont see much of peoples gardens around with flowers now. i see high rising apartments,no gardens. cos todays generation they dont have time to spend a little time in the garden?,which will bring our bees back..Its the little things that brings a big change for our world.....

Answer 9

Not all the bees are gone, but something is certainly reducing the bee population drastically.  Farmers that rely on bees to pollinate their crops are having to shell out a lot more money to have beekeepers bring hives to their farms to pollinate the crops because of the bee shortage.  That will, of course, translate into higher food prices for consumers.  

From what I've seen on the news, it is nearing crisis proportions.  There may not be enough bees to pollinate all the crops this year.  If it continues, we may end up losing many crops.

Answer 10

yes, with out bees we will not be able to produce many foods, about 60 - 70 % of the food we eat everyday has been pollonated but a bee or another bug. Therefore it is important for bees to pollinate.
