  • In 2015 the bees are still dying in masses. Which at first seems not very important until you realize that one third of all food humans consume would disappear with them. Millions could starve. The foes bees face are truly horrifying - some are a direct consequence of human greed. We need to help our small buzzing friends or we will face extremely unpleasant consequences.

    • @trevorsharp460
      @trevorsharp460 7 років тому +218

      Interesting question! Here's my guess:
      Inherent fragility of bees -- in order for one bee to survive, you need hundreds of them, all working together. Honeybees can't survive without their colonies in the same way that a single cockroach or mosquito survives. For a mosquito to survive, you just need one mosquito.
      Additionally, their food sources are considerably different. A cockroach is perfectly happy to switch from rotting plant matter to garbage, for instance.

      Amen. With every passing day, Marx's critique of capitalism is more and more accurate. Not that I would like to follow his prescriptions lawl. For now, I am ok with a heavily restricted and regulated capitalism. The age of exponential, never ending growth is over anyways. And without growth, there is no capitalism. At this point our focus should be on things like care. Care of our bodies, care of our fellow humans, and care of our environment.

      If you want to preserve the beauty of nature maybe we shouldn't have made bees the primary way of transferring pollen or keep acting like there aren't alternative bugs who have gone extinct and are continuing to die off as we put bees to the front line. There was many species of pollen transporters before bees in America.

      This video is absolute garbage. We know EXACTLY why bees are dying out and, sorry, it's not really a big problem. In fact, there are NO native honey bees in the United States... at all. We imported them all from Europe and we use them as a commercial tool. They are NOT a part of the natural ecosystem (at least in the US).
      As far as the exact problems, the commercial bees are largely dying out because they keep stealing all the honey and replacing the majority of it with an artificial sugar mush mess which lacks certain natural goodies, the most important being p-coumaric acid which activates specific genes which boost the bee's natural immune system... and without it they become exponentially more susceptible to pesticides and disease.
      Wild bees on the flip side have OTHER problems, largely due to human expansion and roadways. Basically wiping out wildflowers and building new roads... bees go SQUISH on people's windshields.

      I'll quote myself from another comment.
      "No matter what farming practices you use, with 7 billion people the impact on the environment will be huge. The question is how to minimize that impact... and there is no simple answer.
      Mainly because the environment is a very complex system and solving one problem can cause several new ones.
      That's why decisions should not be taken lightly or based on anything other than objective facts and science."

      Nature is gonna thrive one way or another, we're not going to 'destroy' the environment.
      The worst we could do is nuke the fuck out of everything and cause a mass extinction.Then a few hundred or thousand years later things will pick up again. Of course by then our species would probably be long gone.
      And that's where the problem is. If we want to survive as a species as long as possible, then we'll have to change something.

      Studies have shown that the impact of all mosquitos dying ( or just the ones that attack humans ) would be relatively small.
      Also mosquitos kill more humans every year than all other species combined.

      I know, but the studies show otherwise.

      All the others just ignore humans. Don't ask me why though.

      You really think that, the extinguish of the honeybees won't have an impact on human society? 'In a nutshell' said it very clearly and I hope you remind yourself on the story of the bee and the flower (not the metaphorical one).
      Bees spread the seeds of plants. It's a job, they do naturally. Now guess who needs plants. Not just for food but also for breathing?
      Plus, you can't calculate or imagine right now, what would happen to the rest of the ecosystem when such an enormous pillar is gonna collapse. So let's not just sit and wait for the results of that way. Unless, you'd like to doom the next few generations even more...

  • @LuwinKaskler

    Wild bees are more important than honey bees because in many cases the wild bees are more effective in pollination. It is important to save both but the wild bees needing more help because of habitat destruction and so on.
    Helping wild bees would be more effective.

  • @jday1235

    Hey! I think you all should do another video on bees, cause this one is not necessarily inaccurate, but does not address how important native bees are. Here in North America at least, native bees can out pollinate Apis mellifera on the order of 100x (in almonds). So, the notion that just honey bees contribute to 1/3 of food is disingenuous...native bees contribute heavily to soybean crops and many others. Love the work! Just as a bee lover i would love to see an updated video on the bee scene, if y'all are willing!

  • @bowser515

    Ahhh...this reminds me when I was 10, I was holding a bunch of flowers, walking around the neighborhood to get more, until I saw people step on a Bumble Bee, and I quickly stopped them. It's wing was chipped, and I crouched down, setting the flowers in front of the bee. *The bee, thank goodness, survived,* and climbed on the flowers. Slowly getting up, I put my hand near the bee to make sure it didn't fall. And I walked across the street slowly, and I rushed to the other side when I heard a car beep at me. when I got to the other side, the bee was buzzing, and I slowed down. When I got to a playground, I went to a nearby hill, slowly getting down to sit on the sidewalk. While I was doing all that, the bee was pollenating the flowers. Anyway, the bee flew of the flowers, landing on the ground to wipe the pollen off it's face. After that, *I watched it fly away, back to the safety of it's hive.*
    I will never forget that time, but I will always forget what age I was.

    Actually honeybee colonies have increased while the real problem is with the wild bees. Wild bees are slowly dying out because of pesticides. Different types of wild bees are better at pollinating different kinds of flowers than the honey bees. So basically it takes way less wild bees than honeybees to pollinate a wide area of a specific plant. Some species have died forever, while others are on the verge of dying.

In our farm we don't use any type of pesticide, in fact we have a less harvest but is more than enough anyway. The human must learn to take a cut on this madness of profit, capital and money (that are wasted in the end, think about the food we waste every day).
    Money can't be tramutated in water, food, bees, wood and all the resources that we are loosing year after year in the name of money god. I hope that all this system will collapse before is too late.

      invest in gmo, and the pesticides will more or less became obsolete. but no, gmo will kill us. basically, we are killing ourselves - let us choose the best "chemical" solution for this (I mean the preservation of our kind, not the extinction :)

    I've always loved bees. Aside from their massive contribution to pollination, I've just always felt drawn to them. When I was eight I was running barefoot on our front lawn and accidentally stepped on a bee. It's stinger went into the bottom of my foot. I cried and cried and cried. My mother gently tried to calm me down by telling me it would feel better soon, but I told her I wasn't crying because it hurt, I was crying because the bee was going to die! :(
