Effects range from sudden death to paralysis, a reduction in foraging ability, malformations that extend to cells in the hive and interference with feeding behaviors.<\/p>\n<h4>Industrial Agriculture<\/h4>\n<p>Growing dependence on industrial agriculture brings less soil fertility, a reliance on <strong>harsher chemicals<\/strong>, less diversity of crops and higher levels of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/plastic-pollution\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pollution<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Loss of Natural Habitat<\/h4>\n<p>As demand for food rises and industrial farming increases, the bee\u2019s <strong>natural habitat decreases<\/strong>. Consequently, there simply aren\u2019t enough pollinating flowers to feed the bees.<\/p>\n<h4>Climate Change<\/h4>\n<p>Climate change <strong>messes up a bee\u2019s natural time clock<\/strong>. Rising temperatures cause spring flowers to bloom early. As a result, bees aren\u2019t ready and miss this potentially vital food source.<\/p>\n<h4>Parasites<\/h4>\n<p>Honeybees, in particular, are susceptible to certain parasites. Studies show that with the higher temperatures we are experiencing due to climate change, these parasites are even more prevalent.<\/p>\n<h3>6 Practical Ways to Save Bees<\/h3>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44758\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Practical-Ways-to-Save-Bees.jpg\" alt=\"Practical Ways to Save Bees\" width=\"850\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Practical-Ways-to-Save-Bees.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Practical-Ways-to-Save-Bees-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Practical-Ways-to-Save-Bees-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h4>Make Your Garden Bee-Friendly<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Without plants, bees will die. Flowers are food for bees, but don\u2019t just think about planting flowers. <strong>All plants flower,<\/strong> including herbs, vegetables, and fruit.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plant for all the seasons.<\/li>\n<li>Plant in groups. Bees like to stick to the same type of flower at a time.<\/li>\n<li>Have a variety of plants in your garden.<\/li>\n<li>Leave patches of ground for bees to rest up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Spring plants<\/strong> for Bees: Crocus, Cowslip, Lung Wort, Grape Hyacinth, Primrose, Bluebell, Comfrey, Kale, and Japonica.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Summer plants<\/strong> for Bees: Allium, Forget-me-not, Borage, Catmint, Foxglove, Lilac, Hyacinth, Strawberry, Lavender, and Monarda.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Autumn plants<\/strong> for Bees: Dahlias, Ivy, Wall Flowers, Runner beans, Sedum, Sage, and Honeysuckle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Winter plants<\/strong> for Bees: Snowdrop, Heather, Winter Aconite, Raspberry, Field Speedwell, and Rosemary.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h4>Plant Trees for Bees<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>People forget that bees need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/how-to-save-trees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">trees<\/a> too. In actual fact, bees get the <strong>majority of their nectar<\/strong> from trees. Not to mention that when a tree flowers it provides thousands of blooms for hungry bees. In addition, bees like to roost in trees so it\u2019s a great habitat for them as well.<\/p>\n<p>So if you have space, plant a tree or two. The best types of trees for bees are fruit trees like apple, plum, pear, even crab apple, cherry. However, even non-fruiting trees such as pussy willow and hawthorn are good for bees.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h4>Buy Organic Food<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We know bees don&#8217;t like pesticides. <em>Organic farmers don\u2019t use pesticides<\/em>. Not only that but they also tend to use more environmentally friendly methods of farming such as sowing wildflower strips alongside fields. Instead of pesticides, they let nature keep their crops safe and rely on insects and birds to keep pests away.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h4>Create a Bee Bath<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Bees need to drink water <em>but not sugary water<\/em>, just plain old rainwater in the garden. However, they do need a helping hand when it comes to the drinking part. Bees can\u2019t swim and, as such, they require a landing platform in the bath.<\/p>\n<p>So, to help them out, fill a shallow dish or bowl with water and then place stones or pebbles for them to land on so they don\u2019t drown.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<h4>Bees Need Homes<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The majority of bees are solitary creatures and don\u2019t live in hives. As a matter of fact, they <em>prefer to live on their own<\/em>, usually underground or in tree hollows but venture out to get food. Make it easier for these lonely bees by building them their very own home.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li>\n<h4>Support Local Bee Keepers<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Small, local beekeepers love their bees and stick to <strong>ethical standards<\/strong> whilst treating their hives in a gentle and humane way. Therefore, if you want to save and support bees, then buy your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/get-rid-of-cough-homemade-honey-wraps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">honey<\/a> from these local producers and not the supermarkets.<\/p>\n<h3>While the decline of bees is desperately worrying, there is some good news.<\/h3>\n<p>A study in the UK suggests there are \u2018<em>winners and losers<\/em>\u2019 amongst bee species. The more common species of bees have actually increased by 10%. It is thought this is due to a combination of factors. In the UK, we are growing more oilseed rape crops which are favored by the common species of bees.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps more importantly, however, is that since 2013 the European Union issued a temporary ban on neonicotinoids. Whatever the reason for the slight increase in numbers, we can only hope it continues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/gyanyankovich\/how-to-help-save-bees?distro_platform=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/science-environment-47698294\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rspb.org.uk\/get-involved\/activities\/give-nature-a-home-in-your-garden\/garden-activities\/buildabeebandb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.rspb.org.uk<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/pollinator-protection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The global bee population has been in a worrying decline for the past three decades.
