Scientists shocked: The bees are dying around the world!
Billions of bees are dying and our entire food chain is in danger. Bees not only produce honey, but I am a huge labor force, because pollinate more than 90% of the plants we grow. The scientists point the finger at the four toxic pesticides and European governments have already banned them.
Ivers scientific studies have identified a group of toxic pesticides in their dramatic decline, while the population of bees has increased dramatically in the four European countries that have banned these products. But some powerful chemical companies are making enormous pressure to continue selling this poison. The opportunity we have to save the bees now is to push the United States and the European Union to unite in banning those products : their action is crucial because it would have a ripple effect throughout the world.
Bees are essential for life on Earth : every year to pollinate plants and crops a value estimated at $ 40 billion more than a third of food stocks in many countries. Without immediate action to save the bees could be without fruit, vegetables, nuts, oils and cotton .
In recent years the population of bees has been a significant decline in global some bee species are now extinct and others come for only 4% of their previous number. Scientists are racked my brains to find the answers. Some studies believe that the decline is due to a combination of factors, including disease, habitat loss and toxic chemicals. But a new independent research leading has produced incontrovertible data that blaming neonicotinoid pesticides . France, Italy, Slovenia and Germany, countries where it has based its largest manufacturer Bayer, have banned one of these killer bees. But Bayer continues to export the its poison throughout the world.
The question is reaching the boiling point , as important new studies confirm the extent of the problem. If we can convince makers in Europe and U.S. to act, others will follow . It will not be easy. A leaked document shows that the United States Agency for Environmental Protection was aware of the dangers of the pesticide, but has ignored them. The document says that the product is "highly toxic" of Bayer involves "a serious risk to off-target insects (honeybees).
