Colony Collapse Disorder in the Temperate forest

Explore the phenomenon of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) in the temperate forests, where healthy worker bees abandon the hive, leading to the demise of entire colonies. Learn about the causes, impact on ecosystems, and ways to prevent CCD for a sustainable future.

  1. Colony Collapse Disorder in the Temperate forest

  2. What is happening? • Honey bees when sick will fly off to die so they don’t infect the whole hive • But with CCD worker bees are not sick they just think they are • Once the bees all fly away then the queen who relies the worker bees to get her food die and so does the hive • Some people keep bee hive as a hobby or a job

  3. Why is this happening? • There are many reason but all are related to humans. • Pesticides • Disease and parasites from bees which are from other countries.( so our trade) • Us not cleaning and make sure the bees are healthy before bring them into the country • Stress from the environment or nutritional factors.( us cutting down flowers and destroying there hive)

  4. Where is this happening? • TEMPERATE FORESTS where we live • Temperate forest have moderate climates • Four seasons with a defined winter • Most of our food is grown here • 75-150 cm of precipitation

  5. Why it effects us? • Honey bees pollinate flowers and trees • Also they pollinate all of our food like apples and cherries and pumpkins • If all the bees go then we lose food • In south china this happen and now people pollinate the flowers and food by hand • This will also effect animals • We eat the honey they make and use the beeswax

  6. How can we stop this? • By not using pesticide on our lawn • Plant more flowers and flowering trees like the red clover, foxglove, bee balm, and joe-pye weed • Let an honey bee hive stay unless it is hurting some one ( honey bee don’t sting unless provoked)
