PAUSE and THINK If bees can not pollinate enough crops to keep the global population fed, we will turn to wind pollinated grains and MEAT. |
Meats are the very foods that climate change specialists are warning us not to eat because they are extremely harmful to the environment and help speed up global warming, as well as facilitating a variety of other unwanted changes. What if by forgetting the pollinators, we are setting off a chain of reactions that we never even stopped to consider? |
Failing FlowersWithout rain and coping with warmer temperatures, the plants on which bees feed are experiencing shorter blooming seasons.
|
SupplY ShortagesThe shortened seasons leave honey bees unable to forage for enough pollen and nectar to be able to survive the winter.
|
stress and starvationWhen the bees are unable to feed themselves and their hives, they become stressed, which decreases their longevity and causes the queen to stop laying eggs.
