Vanishing of the Bees

"The Vanishing of the Bees" refers to a phenomenon called Colony Collapse Disorder, where honeybee colonies abruptly lose most of their worker bees. This disrupts pollination, essential for many crops and ecosystems. Factors contributing include pesticide exposure, habitat loss, diseases, and stress from environmental changes. The decline threatens global food security and biodiversity, highlighting the importance of bees in maintaining healthy ecosystems. The phenomenon underscores the need for sustainable agricultural practices and environmental conservation efforts.
