Honey bees that play a crucial role in food production have died in the USA in the USA.
According to a survey published last month by APIS M. Apis M Honeybee Research, the US commercial beekeepers have average 62%last winter. The survey was based on data that contained more than two thirds of commercially raised honeybees in the USA
“This year there is something really bad,” Scott Mcart, Associate Entomology Professor at Cornell University, told The Guardian.
Last week, Entomologists forecast Washington State University that up to 70%of the overall losses of honey bodies could achieve up to 70%this year. In the past ten years, the annual losses have usually been between 40 and 50%, but the numbers have been “steadily increased” over time, the report says.
Until about two decades ago, the beekeepers would usually only lose 10-20% of their bees in the winter months.
Climate change, urban spread and widespread weed murder were quoted as factors for bee acceptance by project tapis M.
The US Agriculture Ministry also examines whether bee mutual viruses or parasites could contribute to the devastating losses, while Cornell researchers examine the effects of pesticides. The Guardian noted that Cornell had to enter to support this research after the government of President Donald Trump had carried out personnel cuts at the USDA.
Honey bees are not native to the USA, but they play a major role in commercial agriculture. The flying insects dust more than 130 types of fruit, nuts and vegetables and, according to USDA, blame them for US dollars for US dollars every year.
Commercial Blake Shook told CBS News that he feared for the future of agriculture.
“If this is a multi -year thing, it will change the way we consume food in the United States,” he said.
