Bumblebees are Becoming Extinct | Scienceray


Bumblebees are becoming extinct. In the last twenty years bumblebees have declined 96 percent. Not only are bumblebees becoming extinct, so are honey bees and solitary bees. Bees pollinate more than 235,000 species of plants on the Earth, without them we will become a starving population. The EPA has allowed the use of a toxic insecticide called Clothianidin that is killing off bees that pollinate our crops.
