但是,蜜蜂等授粉动物正面临危险的处境,需要传授花粉的植物也遇到了危机。例如,根据美国养蜂人报告,在2014年和2015年之间,他们失去了40%的蜂群。科学家们认为蜂群减少的原因包括栖息地的丧失、农药的使用以及病虫害。
为了解决这个问题,在2015年美国总统欧巴马(Obama)发布《促进蜜蜂等授粉动物健康的国家战略》(National
Strategy to Promote the Health of Honey Bees and Other
Pollinators)
你能帮助蜜蜂吗?
你可以有所作为!具体方法如下:
- 种花:确保你的花园在整个生长季节花朵盛开,营造吸引授粉动物的栖息地。种植各种植物,如果有可能尽量种植那些你本国或本地区的原生植物。
- 限制或停止使用农药:授粉动物接触的植物如果经过杀虫剂处理,就可能受到伤害或被杀死。只在绝对必要的时候使用化学品,并确保在一天中适当的时间使用,通常早上或晚间没有授粉动物活动的时候比较合适。
Did you have a bee for dinner last night?

Can you help honeybees?
You can make a difference! Here’s how:
-
Plant
flowers:
Make sure to have flowers that bloom in your garden throughout the growing season to create a habitat that will attract pollinators. Plant a variety of plants, especially those that are native to your country or region, whenever possible. -
Limit or stop pesticide
use:
Pollinators can be harmed or killed if the plants they visit have been treated with pesticides. Use chemicals only when absolutely necessary, and make sure to apply them at times of the day — usually early or late in the day — when pollinators are not present.
