Colony Collapse Disorder in the Temperate forest

What is happening? Honey bees when sick will fly off to die so they don’t infect the whole hive But with CCD worker bees are not sick they just think they are Once the bees all fly away then the queen who relies the worker bees to get her food die and so does the hive Some people keep bee hive as a hobby or a job

Why is this happening? There are many reason but all are related to humans. Pesticides Disease and parasites from bees which are from other countries.( so our trade) Us not cleaning and make sure the bees are healthy before bring them into the country Stress from the environment or nutritional factors.( us cutting down flowers and destroying there hive)

Where is this happening? TEMPERATE FORESTS where we live Temperate forest have moderate climates Four seasons with a defined winter Most of our food is grown here cm of precipitation

Why it effects us? Honey bees pollinate flowers and trees Also they pollinate all of our food like apples and cherries and pumpkins If all the bees go then we lose food In south china this happen and now people pollinate the flowers and food by hand This will also effect animals We eat the honey they make and use the beeswax

How can we stop this? By not using pesticide on our lawn Plant more flowers and flowering trees like the red clover, foxglove, bee balm, and joe-pye weed Let an honey bee hive stay unless it is hurting some one ( honey bee don’t sting unless provoked)
