Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
We can learn a lot about how we're hurting wild/native pollinators by looking at what's happening to farmed honey bees so I consider efforts to understand honey bee losses to be an important endeavour. I support, even more, research into effects on wild pollinators and efforts to improve habitat. The honey bee is farmed, it isn't going to die out because humans will prevent that. The wild pollinators should be our greatest concern.
I was worried that this documentary was going to be totally focused on honey bee problems, thankfully it actually goes into sustainable farming practices and research into wild pollinators. I actually learned some good things and also, as a hobbyist bee keeper, I feel this documentary had good information and good advice for everyone.
I forgot that Minecraft is trying to do the same thing
Yes, keep them ALIVE!
Honeybees are in no danger of going extinct. They have parasites and diseases that are devastating but it is no different from the diseases livestock get. However, many species of wild bees are in danger. Pesticides are the main reason why, along with varroa.
I have raised honeybees for 20 years. This whole schtick is little more than an eco-activist claim amplified by a media that is desperate for end of the world porn. This is often pointed at big agri-businesses and hives that are trucked around from field to field on diets they don't have in the wild. But domesticated honeybees are a working species for humans. They are managed and are in no danger. There may be some issues with wild bees and other pollinators - but those guys are all living in very complex selective niches and their populations are not maintained by any artificial means.
-- sorry - looked around at other posts. I agree with the other beekeepers with this.
I heard that bees arent actually in as bad a danger as people make out and only a couple of species are endangered with one being a Hawaiian bee....
BEES??!
Reminds me of the black mirror episode I recently watched. I’ll definitely have to check out this doc.
I’m sure majority of the people here have seen Bee Movie
