Many species of animals are struggling to escape extinction in this day and age, most of whose struggles are caused by our own hands. I am going to discuss a creature whose lowering populations will have a horrible impact on our everyday life. Bees, while not yet on the endangered species list, seem to be quickly heading in that direction, and if their populations continue to decline, then so will the environment's health. The most important information to find was plants that had already been affected by declining bee populations, as well as how much the number has decreased. It was found that beekeepers have experienced a loss of 30% or higher in their colonies. It was also found that California's almond trees were suffering greatly. I hope that my investigation will shed more light on these amazing creatures and how much we need them to survive.
