The plight of the bees persuasive essay- Taylor LeTourneau

Bees have lived on this planet thousands of years before humans ever existed. Also they play an important role in pollinating our plants which gives us food. I believe that it will take a shortage of food that comes from plants, the shortage of honey, and the non use of synthetic materials in plants for people to start realizing that bees are going extinct.

First of all, people need to realize that bees are becoming a threatened species. A shortage of crops being produced that humans eat like vegetables and fruit. Unless anything negatively happens to people then the humans won’t care about the honey bees going away because most of the human population is afraid of bees and doesn’t like them. The reason, I say that is because since most of the human population doesn’t like bees in general and they don’t focus much of their attention on them there has to be a loss in a major product that people need and is made possible by bees. This has to happen for people to realize that honey bees are in danger. If people don’t realize this problem of the honey bees disappearing until its too late people may lose the normal supply of fruits and vegetables that people eat every day.

Secondly, people may wake up to their precious honey raising in price because of the decrease in production of honey. Honey may not be sold anymore because of that there aren’t enough honey bees to produce honey for the mass amounts of people that love it. If people rise up soon enough they can save honey bees from becoming extinct. T he honey bees won’t ever be close to extinction again because people will start beekeeping more and they will pass the hobbie down for generations. However, if we don’t realize that the bees are  becoming extinct soon enough then eventually the honey bee will go extinct and people would have hard time living life without them because of all the good things bees have brought us for hundreds of years.

Lastly, the other side may say that a major resource doesn’t have to be taken away for people to realize that honey bees are going extinct. They may say that people will just realize the population of honey bees is going down, but that’s wrong because most of the human population doesn’t like honey bees for multiple reasons. Some of the reasons that people don’t like bees is because they occasionally sting people and they make new hives in peoples backyards which freaks them out. So for people to start trying to save bees some major resources have to be taken away like food and honey which people have in their everyday home because in reality people will do a lot more to keep bees around if their food is coming in smaller proportions. Therefore, if companies start making food with synthetic materials then nobody will notice that bees are becoming extinct and they eventually will go extinct. People don’t realize how much bees do until some negatively changes. So, if big industries make synthetic foods the average person will not notice the bees population decreasing until their extinct and all the food is synthetic.

In conclusion, humans will not notice the decrease in the bees population until there is a shortage of food, a shortage of honey, and until big industries don’t use synthetic materials in their food. Bees are a sacred animal but humans have grown away from them and don’t realize how important they are to the everyday life of humans.
