As a result of our research we have come to the conclusion that Colony Collapse Disorder should be dealt with immediately because honeybees and many other bees play an important role in our everyday life. Without honeybees, our environment will take a turn for the worse. As we first began this research, we based it off of our essential question, which is:
What is the importance of bees and what role do they play in our everyday life?
As our research escalated, we were able to find a definite answer.
We discovered that the bees, being unable to pollinate the plants, will cause crops to die due to the lack of fertilization. Humans and all other organism that depend on these plants to survive will be without a larger percent of their daily nutrients, and a great fraction of them may also suffer. This has also answered our problem statement because without bees, honey bees in particular; our nation will collapse. There could be a wide spread of famine, recessions, and corruption along with many, many deaths.
Throughout this research we have learned the different varieties of bees, how colony collapse disorder impacts on US agriculture, and the current crisis in food production. We have also learned about the past honeybee population losses and how colony collapse disorder is causing honeybees to be in the threatened, endangered, & near extinction list.
Our research is related to science because you have to understand the structure of plants, how they are pollinated and how they reproduce. It’s related to social science because CCD affects a large percentage of crops. Colony Collapse Disorder is related to mathematics because it affects us financially; with so many honeybees losses, farmers aren’t able to put enough fruits and vegetables on the market.
If we had an extended time period then we would find out more information about the leading cause of colony collapse disorder, because the leading causes are still publicly unknown today. But New Media Technology Charter School can help shine some light on this topic. New Media can help by trying to bring this to the school board attention. If more students were aware of how important bees are and the significance they play in the environment, we could help prevent colony collapse disorder.
With the help of my team members, we were able to learn so much from one another, not just on the research but on each other’s characters as well. When our group first began this project, we had a lot of challenges, and our friendship was tested. But now our group has come a long way; we have made a good amount of progress. This project is teaching us tons of great information and has informed us how significant bees are. Not too long ago we all had believed that the world would be better without them, but we were uneducated on the subject. We are enjoying the information we researched and hope to enlighten our peers about the importance of bees.
