Use your own words as far as possible.Where aie tlie bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large are

Unfoitunately, bees have been disappearing at ail alarming rate.In 2006, bee keepers started repoilmg about something called Colony Collapse Disaster (CCD).The main sigil

53、 of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees fiom a liive. In October of 2006, some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives.There were many theories for the disappeaiance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees toda

54、y. Nowadays, beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of tlie typical bee now consists of travelling all around the countiy to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which

55、is very stressful to bees. It is not miusual for up to 30% of the hive to die duiing transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of theii' time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from coni, usually polluted witli

56、pesticides.The exact reason for the disappeaiance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is veiy costly to the economy. The bee pollination sendees are worth over S8 bilEon a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased foo
