On friday, during 4th period, my teacher told us about how a while back bees were dying off and no one knew why. Well recently, a scientist in California discovered a type of parasite that were killing off the bees. Apparently, the parasite injects some sort of venom into the bee and for a while, the bee just roams around not acting normal. They are called "Zombie Bees" and then after a while, the bee would die.
This concerns everyone because if the bees are dying off, then humans will die too! We need bees to live and they are an important part in our lives. When people heard that the bees were dying off, they put bee hives in their backyards so that the bees would reproduce. This concerns me because what if the parasite starts targeting something else other than a bee? Is is possible for it to inject its venom into humans?
I think that we should start helping these bee's out.
