The dangers of declining bee populations
Article Toolsby Renee Pierce
The declining bee population is a terrible trouble to the world. In the killer bee scarce back in 1996 and before, we realized that bees were precious creatures. We make cottage industries from them. Like the bee keepers, candle makers, and wax makers, and lots of other things. Most people would come at this from a honey standpoint, but what about the natural candles? Candles that we need every time the electricity fails. Yes, honey is important but lots of people will lose their jobs if the bee declines.
Also why should the bee not decline? The bee is a dangerous creature that might be better if we let it die out. I'm not depending on the bee personally, in urban areas bees are just a wild creatures as dangerous as a bear, and a exterminator must be called to get rid of the creatures at expense to the homeowner.
