Bees are dying at an alarming rate and people who use pesticides kill the bees faster. A chemical used for bees called neonicotinoids targets a bees brain, it causes them to think slower and makes it harder for them to remember floral scents. There’s another chemical called coumaphos and the combination of both the pesticides make to bees completely forget the floral scents.
Small children learn to be afraid of bees because of their stinger, despite knowing that they can inflict much more pain on the bees than they can to the kids. We should teach children not to be fear the bees, but recognize how they help us, and protect them when they need it as well. |
