led the bats to starvation‚ dehydration‚ and consequently‚ death. If bats were to go extinct‚ predators would starve during the winter months that were reserved to the easy prey and food source. Farm fields would evidently see a high increase in insects messing up their system. The ultimate death of coral reefs was due to ocean acidification‚ which altered the corals’ saturation levels drastically. There are many proximate causes that led to the continuing extinction of coral reefs such as overfishing

become a world-wide effort. You can‚ however‚ start on your own because every hive counts. Another solution would be to avoid spraying pesticides on plants that bees consider desirable. If bees are attracted to a certain crop that we spray to keep insects from destroying‚ then the bees will carry the pesticide back to the hive‚ should they survive the poison. If we avoid spraying in areas that bees pollinate frequently we could combat the severe losses we see on a yearly basis. The last thing that

A new federal report blames a combination of problems for a mysterious and dramatic disappearance of U.S. honeybees since 2006. The intertwined factors cited include a parasitic mite‚ multiple viruses‚ bacteria‚ poor nutrition‚ genetics‚ habitat loss and pesticides. The multiple causes make it harder to do something about what’s called colony collapse disorder‚ experts say. The disorder has caused as much as one-third of the nation’s bees to just disappear each winter since 2006. Bees‚ especially

Imagine a world without crops like apples‚ coffee‚ broccoli‚ and cocoa. We consume these products often‚ and just expect them to always be around. A world without bees is a world without these crops and many‚ many more because they are our main pollinators. When people eat a meal‚ not much thought goes into how that food is produced. Bees play a part in the production of one-third of all the food we eat. The harsh reality is that honey bees are dying and rapidly. Researchers have been scrambling
