As humans buy fruit from the grocery store, or as we gaze at beautiful flower garden and inhale the wonderful scent, people don't realise who are responsible for these pleasures. Well, the answer is honey bees. However, we might not have as much fruit in the future as we do now. Honey Bees have been rapidly vanishing from the Earth for 35 years now. No one is sure why this is happening. Some people say that this is due to global warming or desecration to forests. German bee expert Professor Joergen Tautz from Wurzburg University said: "Bees are vital to biodiversity. There are 130,000 plants for example for which bees are essential to pollination, from melons to pumpkins, raspberries and all kind of fruit trees - as well as animal fodder - like clover." As stated, bees serve an extensive role in ecology. So, when plants are ready to be pollinated, bees come and take the pollen to make honey. But if the plants are not pollinated, the plants decompose instead of turning into seeds to allow new life. Eventually, there might be no more honey bees, which would lead to no more plants, endangering the animal kingdom. To conclude we must do something about the extinction of bees before time runs out.
