Over the last two decades, pollination levels have dropped by 50%. Why is this significant? Pollination from bees results in feeding 1/3 mouthfuls as well as being a large contribution to the economy. Bees are known as a "keystone species." Keystone species are especially important because they "hold up" the rest of the ecosystem. If bees were to become extinct, a chain of economic events will occur which may result in more species becoming extinct. The extinction of bees may even lead to the end of humans. It is possible to increase bee population through economic projects. Maybe if factories would be replaced with parks instead of the opposite, the bees may have a chance in living. In conclusion, the bees are only a warning sign for us. We may not appreciate bees now, but in the future, we may regret our past attitudes toward the bees.
