Vaccines for Honey Bees



https://www.google.com/search?q=honey+bees&rlz=1CAHPZV_enUS831&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiunYOwu9zfAhWm5YMKHZ3GCHoQ_AUIDigB&biw=1366&bih=610&safe=active&ssui=on#imgrc=7Zafe6dGGyzPhM:





Bees have been an ongoing problem but the fact that they are dying off and beekeepers are struggling to keep them alive. Honey Bees bring in about 15 billion dollars due to their pollination. Scientists have came up with an oral vaccine to give to the queen bee and it would trickle down the line. It is a disease that spreads through colonies and kills them.






What would we lose if honey bees went extinct?


Why is it just becoming a problem now?


Besides this vaccine what else could we do?

    If honey bees went extinct then we would have no pollination because bees are mainly responsible for that and we would lose oxygen input to the atmosphere. -Liam Hipp

    If we lost honey bees think we would lose everything because of how they pollinate flowers, and if flowers are not being pollinated 1000s of subspecies would would die to lack of food and then it would follow through with the rest of the food chain.

    I think honey bees deserve to get vaccines because they are one of the natural indicators of the earth. Plus honey is not infinite. -Calvin
