- Colony Collapse Disorder in the Temperate forest
- Slide 2
- What is happening? Honey bees when sick will fly off to die so
they dont infect the whole hive But with CCD worker bees are not
sick they just think they are Once the bees all fly away then the
queen who relies the worker bees to get her food die and so does
the hive Some people keep bee hive as a hobby or a job
- Slide 3
- Why is this happening? There are many reason but all are
related to humans. Pesticides Disease and parasites from bees which
are from other countries.( so our trade) Us not cleaning and make
sure the bees are healthy before bring them into the country Stress
from the environment or nutritional factors.( us cutting down
flowers and destroying there hive)
- Slide 4
- Where is this happening? TEMPERATE FORESTS where we live
Temperate forest have moderate climates Four seasons with a defined
winter Most of our food is grown here 75-150 cm of
precipitation
- Slide 5
- Why it effects us? Honey bees pollinate flowers and trees Also
they pollinate all of our food like apples and cherries and
pumpkins If all the bees go then we lose food In south china this
happen and now people pollinate the flowers and food by hand This
will also effect animals We eat the honey they make and use the
beeswax
- Slide 6
- How can we stop this? By not using pesticide on our lawn Plant
more flowers and flowering trees like the red clover, foxglove, bee
balm, and joe-pye weed Let an honey bee hive stay unless it is
hurting some one ( honey bee dont sting unless provoked)
