What is happening to the bee population and why?

Answer 1

A major reason is due to pesticides and herbicides that farmers use. The pesticides kill the bees, and the herbicides kill the flowers that bees need to survive. Without the flowers, including those that come from 'weeds', they have no way to gather pollen, which is their food source.

Answer 2

Unlike honeybees, bumble bees only store several days' worth of reserves, so require a constant supply of nectar and pollen. They can only rely on mass-flowering crops such as oil-seed rape for part of their life-cycle. Intensification of agriculture has removed continuous forage for bumblebees (wild flowers, hedges etc.).

Answer 3

there are many theories about why bees are disappearing. The bees are stressed and from what they are eating. It could be from radiation from cell phones. Maybe, its from pesticides and gmo food,or global warming. They are from a different planet
