My sister believes that honey bees are endangered
A few weeks ago, my nephew was stung by a bee.
Usually, bees don’t sting unless they feel threatened.
And if you don’t know, once a bee uses its stinger, it will die. In fact, once the stinger is used, there is no way for the bee to remove it from its body without self-amputating. This leads to a very gruesome death, so it’s no wonder that bees are not known for stinging humans. Well, my nephew was fine, thankfully he’s not allergic to bee stings. If he was, that situation could have been a life or death situation. Anyway, while chatting with my sister about the bee sting, she mentioned that bees are endangered. I have heard this before, but I believe it has been debunked by the experts. In fact, according to the National Wildlife Federation, the honey bees are not at risk for extinction. However, there are species of bumble bees that have been on the endangered list since 2017. The main reasons for the decline in the bumble bee population are climate change, disease, and pesticides. Some people believe that starting a beehive would help to improve the population of bees, but that does very little if anything at all. The best way to help the bee population is to plant a variety of flowering native plants. My sister had no clue about all this info and the only reason why I was aware of it was because I did my own research about bees. I was happy to discover that not all bees are endangered and that there is a way to help the population by planting flowers in the Spring.
