Bees are Dying at an alarming rate and Amsterdam may have the answer
The decline of bees and pollinators have been growing concern around the planet.University of Vermont found that the wild bee population in the United States has declined drastically by 23 percent from 2008 -2013. Amsterdam's government has made investments, including creating a $38.5 million sustainability fund for improving the environment-not only for bees but for the entire ecosystem. Developers are also encouraged to install green roofs to their buildings to help control the climate and create a better habitat for wildlife.
Its not only a scenic escape for visitors, but also a feeding ground for bees that cluster around flower beds or in "insect hotels".While bee populations are improving in Amsterdam, concerns remain for the 300 species across the country. About sixty percent of all bee species in the country are on the red list, classifying them as endangered.

Hopefully this problem gets solved because if bees become extinct it can affect the ecosystem of many other animals and can lead to the deaths of these animals~ Stephannie Hernandez
ReplyDeleteI agree with Stephanie if bees come extinct it effects the ecosystem around them not only for animals but, for humans too. Bees produce honey and it is a widely product people use and if they become extinct we will not have that sweet sugary taste.
ReplyDeleteI also agree, the lack of bees can lead to an insufficient amount of honey. Taking out the source of bees, the consumers who eat them may also decrease, and also a lack of bees can even cause a decrease in the amount of pollinated flowers.
