Bees vs Pesticides

Argumentative

We need to stop using pesticides. Bees work to pollinate and make honey, that is why we need to stop using pesticides. The chemicals in the pesticides are toxic to not only butterflies, flies, and other pesky insects the pesticides are also toxic to bees. Bees pollinate at least one third of the world’s flowers and other pollinated plants such as pears, apples, cherry, cantaloupe, almonds, blueberries, cranberries, kiwi, plums, carrots, and some other plants too. We need to stop using pesticides wild pollinators, which include bees, wasps, beetles, flies, butterflies, moths, birds, bats, and even some non-flying mammals, have suffered and died from the chemicals. This includes habitat

Bees do a lot for us and all we do is kill them or make farms from them just to make money, seriously! Where would we even be without bees, honey, beeswax, honeycomb, and all the other things bees make? They are critical pollinators: they pollinate 70 of the about 100 crop species that feed 90% of the world. Honey bees are responsible for $30 billion a year in the crops they pollinate. All of this is proof that we need to stop using pesticides, who even knows how long before all the bees are killed. Some people would think that in farms bees would be safe, but keep in mind that even in farms the bees aren’t safe they still breath in the pesticides. When that happens then what/who will pollinate flowers and the other plants that need pollination? Do you really want all the flowers to die? Are you one of those who use pesticides and are killing all the bees and other animals? Can you really tell yourself what you are doing is good? Can you tell me or anyone and convince them what you’re doing is good when you are killing all these bees and other things? If you are, how can you be that

Worker Bees collect pollen and nectar to feed themselves and their young. Bumblebees can nest on the ground, around patios, decks, in attics, or at the top of ceiling beams. If their nest is harmed Bumblebees will buzz loudly, and defend their nest aggressively. You should consider staying away from their hives.(:

Honeybees are golden yellow with light brown bands around their bodies, they are found all over the world in large “families.” Honeybees are the only insect whose colony can survive for many years, because they cluster together during the winter and eat honey. Honey bees pollinate over 100 plants in the U.S.A. A honeybee’s wings flap 11,000 times per minute that is why they sound like they're buzzing.

Carpenter bees are black and blue bees who, build their nests for themselves ,and only feed their own offsprings. Carpenter Bees can sting more than once, because their stingers are smooth on the outside, and don’t get stuck when they sting. They get there name from their ability to drill through solid wood. These bees drill through wood to lay their eggs to keep their eggs safe while they develop. The female bees will eat through the wood to make a nest. From the outside of the nest it looks only a few inches deep, but they can bee up to 10 feet long!
