Once all bees are dead, we are in really serious problems...

Why 500 million bees have died in Brazil in three months

20 August 2019

More than 500 million bees have died in Brazil in the last three months.

In the state of Rio Grande do Sul, 400 million dead bees were found - with
beekeepers in four states reporting the mass deaths.

Researchers have blamed the use of pesticides - chemical substances which
are used to kill pests.

Bees have a really important role in the food chain - with around
one-third of the food we eat relying on pollination mainly by bees.

These include fruits and vegetables such as avocados, broccoli and
cherries.
What's happened to the Brazilian bees?

The main cause of death for these bees has been the use of pesticides
containing products that are banned in Europe, such as neonicotinoids and
fipronil.

The EU imposed an almost total ban on neonicotinoids last April because of
the serious harm it could cause to bees.

But in the same year Brazil lifted restrictions on pesticides - despite
opposition from environmentalists who called it the "poison package".

The use of pesticides in Brazil has increased, according to Greenpeace,
with 193 products containing chemicals banned in the EU being registered
in Brazil in the last three years.

The country uses pesticides because its economy is so reliant on
agriculture.
What's the story globally?

Things aren't looking good for bees around the world.

In the United States, beekeepers lost four in 10 of their honeybee
colonies in the past year, making it the worst winter on record.

In Russia 20 regions reported mass bee deaths, with officials also warning
it could mean 20% less honey being produced.

At least one million bees died in South Africa in November 2018, with
fipronil being blamed.

And countries such as Canada, Mexico, Argentina and Turkey have all also
reported mass die-offs of bees in the last 18 months.
How can bees be helped?

The World Wildlife Foundation says unused land that was previously used
for development should be managed to better safeguard bee populations.

It adds that with greater urbanisation happening, more urban green spaces
should be developed to protect bees.

Some researchers say wildlife-friendly farming and gardening - such as
creating patches of wild plants and weeds to encourage pollinating insects
- can have a positive impact.

Your garden can help too as growing plants encourages bees to pollinate -
and leaving the grass to grow longer also gives bees more shelter.

For tired bees, wildlife charity Buglife says people should put them onto
flowers, where they may be able to find nectar which contains nutrients
they need - but sugar water can be more controversial.

You can also create a bee bath - which is filling a small dish with water
and stones - that will let bees land on the stone to drink water.

And many environmental groups such as Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth
say banning harmful pesticides is vital to stopping bees from dying.

I've heard over years that it's high frequency signals causing the decline
and no doubt there's a huge number of bees and colonies dying.

I think it's mostly agreed now it's pesticides as the previous post says.
