In conclusion, a zombie attack is highly unlikely to occur given all the factors stated above are considered with the additional inclusion of the military. Disease control procedures are a common practice in the modern world, and developed nations are ready to deal with any plague that can face them. This means zombies cannot overrun the world given the numbers, strategy, and technology available at the moment.

We need to get rid of or stop zombie flies because we need bees to grow our food easier. First “When a female zombie fly lands on a honey bee she injects fly eggs into it.” This is saying that the fly injects the eggs into the bee. Next,”Soon after the larvae hatch within the bee and feed on its insides.” Doing so the larvae kill the bee. Finally, “When the larvae are ready they burst out of the bees body.” This is saying that the bee is really dead. Therefore, we need to stop or get rid of zombie flies because we need bees to help us grow crops…

I was quite shocked to hear how much the bumblebee populations have decreased overtime. I was also unaware of how much of an impact these insects have on us, and the importance of protecting them. Bumblebees are absolutely fundamental to our existence, as they are responsible for much of our food supply, because of their ability to pollinate. However, making the public more aware of this issue is essential to helping save these bees. Laws need to be passed soon that bans the use of certain pesticides that are harming these bees. Research should also be conducted to see what diseases may be affecting the bee population and ways to combat this issue. Due to habitat loss being a big factor that is affecting these bees, artificial bee habitats should be created across the country to see if they help to increase the populations. Although this issue will take years to resolve, finding the best methods to helping to increase these bumblebee populations is crucial while we still have…
Honeybees depend on nectar, pollen and water collected from their environments to survive. A process that exposes them to pesticides if contaminated pollen and nectar (Mullin et al., 2010), surface water (Ssebugere et al., 2009b), floral secretions produced from some plants (Gontijo & Moscardini, 2014) and exudation excreted from plants (Girolami et al., 2009) are harvested. Once collected, they store this food inside beehives hence contaminating the brood, beeswax and honey with pesticides if present. Presence of pesticide residues in food like honey has been reported detrimental to human health (Wesseling & McConnell, 1997) and products known to contain such residues are usually banned from trade causing beekeeper’s economic losses in unsold…
