speech about saving the bees!!

I am speaking with resentment, anger and disappointment. Emotions that are fueled by the carelessness of humans. We as a society have been disregarding the diligent workers of our ecosystem. The bees. Their crucial role in our earth's biodiversity has been overlooked for too long now. Without the bees there would be no fresh food, flowers and air. Bees are the earth's glue, if they’re not here everything falls apart. Let me just say that this isn't all about nature. It's about you . It affects your survival too. How would you feel if you could never breathe on your own? Relying on technology and machines to breathe for you. It's an unimaginable reality that we are 3 decades away from facing. The longer we heedlessly ignore the bees' monumental role on our planet the faster our time runs out. And at the end of the day it'll be our fault.

The bees impact our earth in ways that are incomprehensible, we as humans underestimate the power that bees wield for our ecosystems. Every living thing needs a sustainable environment to thrive. There is no over complication. Bees pollinate plants , plants create oxygen, oxygen allows living organisms to breathe. 42% percent of the earth's animals are herbivores. Without bees around to pollinate the plants these animals would die. Their nutrition will perish, with half of earth's animals dead, as the carnivores wont have prey to eat. Therefore completely destroying the food chain. I am disappointed in our society that these serious issues aren't talked about enough because it's all happening in real time. We need to appreciate the beautiful buzz of our bees before our world's symphony is silent. 

The impact the bees have on our animals is the same impact they have on our food. The bees play an indispensable role in our ecosystem, particularly when it comes to our food sources and agriculture. These pollinators, through their tireless work, ensure the liveliness of countless fruits, vegetables, and nuts that constitute a significant portion of our diet. Without bees, the very foundation of our agricultural system would crumble, as their pollination efforts contribute to the growth and yield of many essential crops. Bees also support the agricultural industry by enabling the production of animal feed, which sustains livestock that ultimately provides meat and dairy products. Preserving these vital pollinators is not just a moral obligation but a practical necessity for the future of our food security and sustainable agriculture.

Bees are often regarded as small, inconspicuous creatures, but their role in the ecosystem is nothing short of vital. The decline in bee populations is a pressing concern, and it's imperative to understand that if bees on Earth were to disappear, humans would face dire consequences. The loss of our bees will eventually banish humans over time. We need to take action before it's too late. If we don't take action to protect these tiny pollinators, we are essentially jeopardizing our own future. It is our responsibility to recognize the significance of bees in our lives and work towards their preservation to ensure a thriving and sustainable planet for both bees and humans alike

The good news is that there are ways that we can preserve the life of our precious bees. By embracing sustainable farming practices that minimize pesticide use, creating bee-friendly habitats in urban areas, and raising awareness about the importance of bees, we can make a significant difference. It's not just about saving a species; it's about safeguarding the delicate balance of our planet's ecosystems, ensuring food security, and protecting the future of our planet for generations to come. The time to act is now, and by taking these steps, we can be the champions of change for these remarkable insects.

In conclusion, these remarkable creatures are often underestimated.Their role in pollinating our crops, supporting biodiversity, and ultimately ensuring our food security cannot be overstated. The decline of bee populations is a dire warning that we can no longer afford to ignore. It's a call to action that transcends environmental concerns; it's about our survival, our well-being, and the legacy we leave for future generations.Through sustainable farming practices, the reduction of pesticide use, the creation of bee-friendly habitats, and raising awareness about their importance, we can make a significant impact. . The responsibility lies with us, and together, we can ensure that the buzz of our bees continues to enrich and sustain life on Earth. Thank you.
