Do bees help us?

Bees are important part of our ecosystem and they do many things to help us.

Firstly bees help us by pollinating 70% of the fruit and veggies that we love to eat

Secondly bees also help us by making honey for us to eat. Honey is also is a good at healing cuts.

Thirdly they pollinate most of the flowers we love.

Bees are dying and why?

Bees are dying because they are being attacked by nasty parasites such as Varroa Destructor  a parasite that weakens the bee and acarapis woodi which lays its eggs in the in the air tubes of the bee which slowly suffocates to death.

Neonicotinoids

A spray which harms the bees by attacking the nervasystem and slowly kills them.

Do other things pollinate?

Some other things pollinate flowers veggies and fruit like Beetles , Bats and Ants.

Bees help us a lot of ways and we should help them back by planting flowers. The End
