Truly, technology has aided food creation by the invention of different techniques and equipment to aid food production. However, its environmental effects are troublesome; one of these is reduction in the population of bees. The structure of agriculture, we adopt is quite unfavourable to the well being and survival of bees.
The use of agro- chemicals in the form of herbicides and pesticides has really affected the activities of bees. Research has shown that every batch of pollen a honey bee collects has at least six detectable pesticides in it, hence serving as poison to them. Also, early cultivation uses natural fertilizers, like clover and alfalfa to develop the yield of the crop. These natural fertilizers serve as good nutritious food for bees. Instead of that now we are utilizing the synthetic fertilizers which are in turn detrimental to the well-being of the bees.
