Effects Of Colony Collapse Disorder
It is very obvious that colony collapse disorder will have nothing but a negative impact on the environment, but the question is, are we prepared to accept the consequences if there is no honey left. Well, before you answer that question, consider the full effect of the consequences. consider the numbers, consider the chances, and consider the statistics.
First of all, bees are responsible for about 1/3 of the food that is produced in the United States of America. Bees pollinate a third of the food that we eat in America and over 90 percent of the crops depend on the bees to pollinate them. But that's not all. Honey bee's are responsible for about 90 percent of the flowering too.
Think about it...... the loss of honeybees due to Colony Collapse Disorder will start a catastrophic chain reation in agriculture. If that is the case, then that means fruit availability will decrease and the cost of the fruit will increase. There will be less people buying fruit which means that there will be less healthy alternative options for people to eat. There will not be a lot of flowers or plants which gives off oxygen as waste. That will be the fate of society if Colony Collapse Disorder continues.
