***** @ 3:31 is that 1.5 Billion Euros that was said supposed to be the same as the 1.5 Billion Dollars that showed on the screen? Of course those would be different if that was the case. Also I'm all for some Dr. Who, but I don't think the T.A.R.D.I.S. should be used mixed in with food.
Before anyone promotes organic farming... The funny thing is, organic food uses pesticides too. Look up rotanone, bt delta endotoxin, copper sulfate, or the more than twenty other USDA organic certified pesticides. Organic food is a scam!
If you want to preserve the beauty of nature maybe we shouldn't have made bees the primary way of transferring pollen or keep acting like there aren't alternative bugs who have gone extinct and are continuing to die off as we put bees to the front line. There was many species of pollen transporters before bees in America.
This video is absolute garbage. We know EXACTLY why bees are dying out and, sorry, it's not really a big problem. In fact, there are NO native honey bees in the United States... at all. We imported them all from Europe and we use them as a commercial tool. They are NOT a part of the natural ecosystem (at least in the US). As far as the exact problems, the commercial bees are largely dying out because they keep stealing all the honey and replacing the majority of it with an artificial sugar mush mess which lacks certain natural goodies, the most important being p-coumaric acid which activates specific genes which boost the bee's natural immune system... and without it they become exponentially more susceptible to pesticides and disease. Wild bees on the flip side have OTHER problems, largely due to human expansion and roadways. Basically wiping out wildflowers and building new roads... bees go SQUISH on people's windshields.
Honey bees will be ok precisely because of their economic importance. But they are the poster children for the other 25000 bee species that pollinate both crops and non-crop plants.
Kyle Dean You're right. Then again, no one is this thread ever said Socialism was a good thing. You're thinking about the two systems all wrong. Capitalism is not the opposite of Socialism, they're just two of many potential ways to run a society.
+TekaiGuy Amen. With every passing day, Marx's critique of capitalism is more and more accurate. Not that I would like to follow his prescriptions lawl. For now, I am ok with a heavily restricted and regulated capitalism. The age of exponential, never ending growth is over anyways. And without growth, there is no capitalism. At this point our focus should be on things like care. Care of our bodies, care of our fellow humans, and care of our environment.
I hate you because your videos are bad you should be even able to go to devastate because you are the worst of them all and you’re gonna be roasted and your the pharmacy now
Interesting question! Here's my guess: Inherent fragility of bees -- in order for one bee to survive, you need hundreds of them, all working together. Honeybees can't survive without their colonies in the same way that a single cockroach or mosquito survives. For a mosquito to survive, you just need one mosquito. Additionally, their food sources are considerably different. A cockroach is perfectly happy to switch from rotting plant matter to garbage, for instance.
when i was 11 my class went on an outdoor field trip and a bee flew directly inside my glasses and was not even a centimeter away from my eyeball and everyone was screaming crying thinking i was about to get stung in my eye and be blind so i stood still for like a minute straight as the bee tried to escape my glasses as everyone was just crying out for me and after like 2 minutes it flew out of my glasses and for the rest of the year my classmates called me the bee whisperer
Lemme tell u something. Because of this channel, my parents think I'm a genius. I explain everything to them!!! They think I'm gonna be a scientist or something. I just wanted to thank this channel for educating out of the box for me. Thanks a lot
Ok then what. ITS becuz u already know it from the oller memories, becuz u learned this on 6th grade. And becuz of this video. U just remembered the oller memories
@@finang6343 I didn't know the facts the video is teaching me. I didn't learn it anywhere. The VIDEO is educating me. It's facts are great!! Don't be a hater man
I overseeded my front lawn with clover to both help the bees and use less water. It only uses about 1/3 the water it used to, and there are bees buzzing around every day. It keeps the neighbors happy that it's a nice green lawn too.
I'm fine with bees but wasps are horrible and don't say they're the same because they aren't wasps eat meat bees drink flowers also wasps actually seek revenge if you upset them they chase you.
Logical people: uhh hey, humanity, can you stop spraying your crops with that stuff that kills bees, you wont even have many crops if you do so. Humanity: Yea that sounds important Logical people: So you'll stop? Humanity: *well, crops make money and money is all that matters right now, even if it causes our death*
Dank im an asshole for acknowledging that the human race is killing itself for money?

invest in gmo, and the pesticides will more or less became obsolete. but no, gmo will kill us. basically, we are killing ourselves - let us choose the best "chemical" solution for this (I mean the preservation of our kind, not the extinction :)
I'll quote myself from another comment. "No matter what farming practices you use, with 7 billion people the impact on the environment will be huge. The question is how to minimize that impact... and there is no simple answer. Mainly because the environment is a very complex system and solving one problem can cause several new ones. That's why decisions should not be taken lightly or based on anything other than objective facts and science."
How about we just kill all the humans? That way Nature could thrive happily without intelligent species fucking everything up. Y'know like we've been doing for past God-Knows how many years.
Stefan Arneson Nature is gonna thrive one way or another, we're not going to 'destroy' the environment. The worst we could do is nuke the fuck out of everything and cause a mass extinction.Then a few hundred or thousand years later things will pick up again. Of course by then our species would probably be long gone. And that's where the problem is. If we want to survive as a species as long as possible, then we'll have to change something.
I remember when i was child the huge number of bees surrounding me when i goes to my grandpa farm. Now that i live there, after 10 years, is rare to see them :( they are much more less.. fortunately i live in Italy and here the situation is not tragic like in USA and other countries, but it is still dangerous! In our farm we don't use any type of pesticide, in fact we have a less harvest but is more than enough anyway. The human must learn to take a cut on this madness of profit, capital and money (that are wasted in the end, think about the food we waste every day). Money can't be tramutated in water, food, bees, wood and all the resources that we are loosing year after year in the name of money god. I hope that all this system will collapse before is too late.
***** NO! Don't defend those pesky little cowards! xD They shall burn for not allowing me to sleep all night long just because they have fun swarming around my god damn ear. Studies have shown that the impact of all mosquitos dying ( or just the ones that attack humans ) would be relatively small. Also mosquitos kill more humans every year than all other species combined.
***** lol wow you must have an exceptionally alluring odor to them then xD YOU ARE FOND OF MOSQUITOS?! Is a mosquito your father or what? xD Seriously, I've never heard of ANY human being fond of mosquitos :D I know, but the studies show otherwise. ALSO I think just 10% of all mosquito species actually go for humans. All the others just ignore humans. Don't ask me why though. Might ask your father that ;D ( Hope you don't take this seriously, I just thought that was funny lol )
Just a random fact: It is said that 50% of people who have ever lived have died at the hands of mosquitoes. Yep, totally no relation to the actual discussion.
I have helped out many tired bees this summer with a spoon of honey or sugar water. Us little people can't do much more than that though. I hope the people in charge wake up and do their bit also soon.
bowser515 I saved a bee that had plopped into a water stream nearby, was just swimming in circles. Picked it up on my finger and put it in the grass, was gone a few minutes later. I feel partially great for saving a bee, and partially pathetic because I've wondered if the bee is still okay for several days after...!
bowser515 I personally take care of several beehives, the best we can do is to stop using such strong pesticides and giving them a good enough protection to plagues, just this year, i've lost 10% of my beehives to Varroa, and there's still winter to come...
Ahhh...this reminds me when I was 10, I was holding a bunch of flowers, walking around the neighborhood to get more, until I saw people step on a Bumble Bee, and I quickly stopped them. It's wing was chipped, and I crouched down, setting the flowers in front of the bee. *The bee, thank goodness, survived,* and climbed on the flowers. Slowly getting up, I put my hand near the bee to make sure it didn't fall. And I walked across the street slowly, and I rushed to the other side when I heard a car beep at me. when I got to the other side, the bee was buzzing, and I slowed down. When I got to a playground, I went to a nearby hill, slowly getting down to sit on the sidewalk. While I was doing all that, the bee was pollenating the flowers. Anyway, the bee flew of the flowers, landing on the ground to wipe the pollen off it's face. After that, *I watched it fly away, back to the safety of it's hive.* I will never forget that time, but I will always forget what age I was. -My brain decides what I should and should not remember- (Edit): In case you are wondering, this is a *true* story
I've had a lot of trouble finding a career path in life that has a chance of being fulfilling to me, but recently i've started wanting to start a bee farm. This has fuelled that want; maybe I can contribute to the bees of the world. I love those funky little workers, it's tragic the world doesn't appreciate them enough to protect them.
+Matt Mustang Kinda like how people dreamed that the internet would be a haven for the free exchange of ideas, but social media turned it into a place where saying the wrong thing could get you fired from your job.
Trevor Lahey I've seen plenty apparently my school is a place where lot's of bees and wasps come. So like around May, we have to be super careful or the bees will swarm the whole school. ;-;
this is terribly heart-braking! dear kurzgesagt, please make one about the importance of coral reefs! i recently read about it and it was very sad how bad their conditions are!
It not only honey bees but native bees are very important as well. Getting bee lawn seed is incredibly important. This mix of seed (depending on your location) creates good habitats for native and honey bees to gain food sources and live.
honey bees kill the natural bees that are not domesticated so its ok if some of the honey bees die we have wild pollinators and other things that pollinate plants so it wont be the end until all the pollinators die and there are none that can be domesticated
leokimvideo if atleast one insect disappears it can make things worst cuz it's the eating cycle and plus spiders are very helpful every animal and insect and fish lives like us they have the same cycle they have the save everything except cars n stuff anyways were just harming animals and insects I mean like where killing our selfs as animals
0:10 I thought you were gonna say This video has been made possible by honey check out the links in the description to save money while buying things online
I remember on time when I was about 7 or 8, when there was a bee flying around, and everyone around me was freaking out and ran away, while I just sat where I was. I left the bee alone, and the bee left me alone. I'm a lot more paranoid now around bees, but I don't care about me getting stung and getting hurt, what I care about is the bee not stinging me so It doesn't die.
Weird. Bees hate me, lol. I could be sitting peacefully on a bench, far away from a hive, and get stung for no reason lol. I also have a phobia of bees so it does not help at all haha!

You really think that, the extinguish of the honeybees won't have an impact on human society? 'In a nutshell' said it very clearly and I hope you remind yourself on the story of the bee and the flower (not the metaphorical one). Bees spread the seeds of plants. It's a job, they do naturally. Now guess who needs plants. Not just for food but also for breathing? Plus, you can't calculate or imagine right now, what would happen to the rest of the ecosystem when such an enormous pillar is gonna collapse. So let's not just sit and wait for the results of that way. Unless, you'd like to doom the next few generations even more...
and probably that will be the solution by making bees more durable and long lasting. actually we can modify and improve every single animal in Noah's Ark. Take this god.
That would not be a solution. Genetic modification has many unintended side effects, usually ending in death. The ONLY solution is to ban insecticides.
Markus Brorson no this behaviour is a result of a free market if you can delay the banning of a profitable product then you will do it. This is done through corporate funded studies and other forms of propaganda (pr) as well as drawing out any legal processes.
Markus Brorson Actually we're fairly shit at saying "i dun goofed, let's learn from that and never repeat that mistake". Instead of learning from screwups we blame ourselves for it, or just say sorry, and keep doing it over and over again. *punches* I'm sorry i hit you. *punches* i'm sorry i hit you. *punches* i'm sorry i hit you.
Tim Stahel Actually, it's not that simple at all and i'm really mad at Kurz Gesagt for pretending it is. Why don't you look at actual bee keeper's takes on the issue? scientificbeekeeping.com/sick-bees-part-18f7-colony-collapse-revisited-pesticide-exposure/ Or the USDA study that conflicts with the news media hype: www.huffingtonpost.com/jon-entine/neonics-not-key-driver-of_b_6928578.html Or the fact that the decrease in hives claim is completely lacking context: @101585
I've always loved bees. Aside from their massive contribution to pollination, I've just always felt drawn to them. When I was eight I was running barefoot on our front lawn and accidentally stepped on a bee. It's stinger went into the bottom of my foot. I cried and cried and cried. My mother gently tried to calm me down by telling me it would feel better soon, but I told her I wasn't crying because it hurt, I was crying because the bee was going to die! :(
Time for Kurzgesagt to update this video. The bees have not died out. We don’t have a crisis. According to The American Council of science and health (and others) bee numbers have been steady or slightly increasing since the 1990’s. There’s a lot of easily accessible first order information out there that confirms there is no “beepolcaypse” nor has there ever been the likelihood of one. I used to have faith in Kurzgesagt but it seems even they too easily fall victim to bad science and fear-mongering.
I live in Italy, North italy in a large green space filled with woods and countryside. Now are years that i don't see bees. This years i see one of them , dead. Hornets and wasps are common now but 0 bees. It's sad see this scenario on a such large green place full of flowers ecc. Years ago this place around my home was full of cute bees.
It hurts deeply knowing that media and science has been warning us about this for literal years and so little has been done. This effects humanity on such a large scale yet it’s treated like a side project. We need more videos like this 🙌🏻
I know this comment is four years too late but, honey bees aren't even 12% of all pollenating insects, let alone pollenators in general. Hell, they aren't even the largest pollenators among bees. I'd also like to remind that honeybees are an invasive species and, as such, don't belong in north America ANYWAY. Bees being gone would ACTUALLY pose a problem. Honeybees in specific being gone isn't a net loss, let alone American honey bees. It's ashame that people just believe what they hear instead of looking at the actual data. While I understand not everybody has that kind of time, I personally refuse to have any concerns about an issue unless I'm certain it really is an issue.
Yes because more TH-cam video's will some how solve the problem... Question for you... What have you done with the knowledge you received about the bee's and nature in the last decade? Yeah that's what I thought. NOTHING. Because everyone is always waiting for someone else to solve problems, literally everyone thinks that way, and that's the problem. You knew about the issues for decades and did literally jack sh*t about it with your living habits, spending habits, spreading Knowledge, donations... You did absolutely nothing. So welcome to the tribe. I also did nothing. Just like everyone else.
While it is understood that HONEY bees have a large global impact. we cannot simply forget the native Solitary bees of north America. Some like mason bees are said to be able to pollinate 10 times as many flowers in the same amount of time. In fact many honey bees are taking up valuable space away from the native populous. So in the end, if its just for pollination then, at least in north america, native bees are a better choice anyway.
I never mentioned that we shouldnt save them people. As a person involved in the agricultural industry I care quite a bit about the survival of all bees. I was simply speaking about the ecological effects that non native bee's have been having in my own area. Also, I care about all areas of the world, otherwise I would have stated that we shouldn't save them and let them go extinct. All species have a role in THEIR OWN ecosystem. The invasive species list is ever-increasing and we need to do something about it. -JT
Yeah same with some wasp families they help pollinate, think the honey bee is just a more manageable poster child for the cause. Also since it is used for food production it probably has closer ties to pollination of what we consume. I tend to leave wasps alone when i can but if they nest by a doorway, namely the door out front i do remove them. It is a tough call though and i really don't like killing any insects, not even flies XD
Wild bees are more important than honey bees because in many cases the wild bees are more effective in pollination. It is important to save both but the wild bees needing more help because of habitat destruction and so on. Helping wild bees would be more effective.
***** That is all just a scam, I read in some shity paper (right next to evidence that Illuminaty rule the World) that some guy in his lab made bees population go up --> It is all ust a scam!! First! Good enough?
This is why we need genetic engineering, whether it’s to modify crops to not require pesticides or modify bees to make them immune to parasites. More research is needed to prevent disaster
This school year I've learned something. I've learned what kind of people make up with world. I always thought that we as humans now have reasonable common sense. I feel so defeated. Today in class, the topic of bees came up. This is English class. The people in my class, didn't think we needed bees. I was shook. I couldn't believe it, I explained that they pollinate and make pretty much every food possible and we absolutely NEED them. They didn't believe me. What do they think? We are evolved from nature and oh so high we get our food from oh factories I don't need bees to eat my chips and fast food. I learned the full extent of the kind of people that make up this world, more so that day. This year has been amazing in my cp English class (I am a junior in high school) I wish I took ap now.....not saying cp kids aren't smart, I'm just so amazed how facts and the truth do very little to convince people in general. I'm afraid to think about myself included😞
@@fosho3409 he’s making the point that honey bees aren’t the only species of pollinators. In fact honey bees are an invasive species to native bees in the americas so death to honey bees might pet native species thrive
@@fosho3409 Please do a little bit more research as the bee movie talks about western honey bees formally know as Apis mellifera. Western honey bees actually hurt the ecosystem because they are suppressing other pollinator species. For more information read the article titled, "Honeybees disrupt the structure and functionality of plant-pollinator networks" posted on Nature articles.
It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan. A few years back a swarm of them were just loving my spearmint. I was going to hack it down a bit, but i let it go for them. Surprisingly, not i nor my dogs were stung.
@@piie6603 yes, that is what should happen IF given enough time, if all the honey bee were to extinct in about 10 seconds , it will bring the death to many other species, maybe not to the point of extinction but really hard to recover. If you want *absolute* balance then it’s just not possible.
Life is actually impossible if things are balance or at least close to balance. Cell is the most basic form of live, it separates itself from the universe; to be alive, inside a cells is different from the rest of the dead universe, if it isn’t which mean it isn’t alive, it will just be some stuff floating around. Balance is a condition in which different elements are equal or in the correct proportions. To be alive is to be unbalance from the rest of the universe, that why living things will die. It’s calls entropy, to make it simple, here is a example, drop a sugar cube into a water cup; at first the sugar concentration is high (the sugar cube) but then it will spread out and eventually the concentration of sugar will be even everywhere inside the cup and now it’s balance . The cell is the sugar cube trying not to dissolve into the dead universe.
do you mean let the bees die and so other bees don't go extinct or die as well? and even if they do it really wouldn't matter and It would be better in fact because of honey bees aren't the only type that makes honey?
@@kirafox6170 Um yes it matters quite a bit actually. It's not just the honey that we need bees for... They pollinate up to 30% of the world's crop and 90% of our wild plants. WIthout them, world hunger would most likely take over so it's not that simple.
I think it's a reference to the episode where they meet Agatha Christie and there's a giant bee alien. They mentioned in the episode that bees were dying as well
Hey! I think you all should do another video on bees, cause this one is not necessarily inaccurate, but does not address how important native bees are. Here in North America at least, native bees can out pollinate Apis mellifera on the order of 100x (in almonds). So, the notion that just honey bees contribute to 1/3 of food is disingenuous...native bees contribute heavily to soybean crops and many others. Love the work! Just as a bee lover i would love to see an updated video on the bee scene, if y'all are willing!
actually no humans are the most adaptable species on Earth, you also have to look at genetic engineering could we bioengineer a species to pollinate plants for
We haven't succeeded too well in that department with animals. (Looks at Africanized honeybees) We also aren't 100% sure if we've succeeded with plants in the more direct genetic engineering. (Businesses are fucking up proper scientific research like the Soviets and Black Books)
+Lynne the Trendy Tetraodontiforme It would also help if food companies would stop putting an odd surplus bit in every food package that forces you to buy another set so it all balances out. Proportions of common foods would be extremely nice so there isn't that much left over.
+Misero but third world countries need that food. also 1st world economys are doing well meaning we need to be able to sell things as cheap as possible.

Kuroda Cursus Its kinda sad that greed has gotten bad to this: (youre not gonna believe this) If everyone got everything that they wanted,we would need 10 planets....
African bee's are genetically engineered bee's created in a South American lab to create honey faster, they escaped the lab and flew all the way to Africa and quickly spread out to all the centre countries in Africa. They are more dangerous and protective of their hive than any other type of bees
Jacob Hoke because how are simple people suppost to protect bees from a smaller insect or whatever, and the 2nd mlst common reason is caused by farmers. farmers are too busy with their money than bees
It is a national, and even global concern, but most people care more about the next zombie and vampire movie, and most companies are trying to make the most profit despite pollution and unethical choices... So, it comes down to what can YOU and I do to steer the world into a better direction. In the case with bees, help maintain Earth in a state where they thrived. If you think the "nation" or the government or WHO or UN will fix it... then you don't realize that the power to make a change is with you and me, basically individuals.
oh how wrong you are. Let me say it again..you are WRONG! You see, rich only want you to feel like they have all the power. So they can stay rich. But how much of the worlds population is really rich? Not that much right? And who is making them rich? Yes buddy..you and me. We the non rich majority who are making the rich rich, have the actual power. We just need to realize it. Also each individual has the power on his own too. Many drops form an ocean.
No, genetics sadly don't work this way. If your gene pool isn't large enough, mutations in offspring will start appearing pretty soon. Ofcourse, todays genetics are advanced enough to possibly introduce artificial genetic diversity, but it will tale huge amount of time and recources.

James Dean Fuck Monsanto they created the Roundup ready soybean.. They plant it and spray Roundup all over it every week, yummy.. Not to mention if you're caught saving the soybean seed they will sue the shit out of you, which they have done to many people..
Glyphospate goes after plants, not insects! Go after other chemicals in round up, just leave the golden glyphospate alone. Pesticides are pretty much essiential. Just let us keep the good ones god damnit.
With a lot of research we might be able to help bees develop strategies against the parasites. But as you should know simply from watching this video the causes are plenty and it will probably only slow down the disorder not stop it.

“If not to preserve the beauty of nature, than at least to ensure our own survival” I really liked this finnishing sentence
It should be famous (don’t criticize me it’s only what I think ok.)
If you want to preserve the beauty of nature maybe we shouldn't have made bees the primary way of transferring pollen or keep acting like there aren't alternative bugs who have gone extinct and are continuing to die off as we put bees to the front line. There was many species of pollen transporters before bees in America.
Humans don't deserve to survive after everything we've done.
I got goosebumps.
This video is absolute garbage. We know EXACTLY why bees are dying out and, sorry, it's not really a big problem. In fact, there are NO native honey bees in the United States... at all. We imported them all from Europe and we use them as a commercial tool. They are NOT a part of the natural ecosystem (at least in the US).
As far as the exact problems, the commercial bees are largely dying out because they keep stealing all the honey and replacing the majority of it with an artificial sugar mush mess which lacks certain natural goodies, the most important being p-coumaric acid which activates specific genes which boost the bee's natural immune system... and without it they become exponentially more susceptible to pesticides and disease.
Wild bees on the flip side have OTHER problems, largely due to human expansion and roadways. Basically wiping out wildflowers and building new roads... bees go SQUISH on people's windshields.
You guys are a cut above.

Honey bees will be ok precisely because of their economic importance. But they are the poster children for the other 25000 bee species that pollinate both crops and non-crop plants.

Why are bees dying. Not mosquitos or cockroach
Bees come into contact with the flowers covered with pesticides, bring pollen back to the hive, and slowly poison the entire hive.
It's not all bees, just the bees used by farmers. they're basically crop dusting their own bee hives with poison and acting confused.
because mosquitoes feed and survive on the giant population we strive to maintain. And cockroaches are just fucking invincible.
Interesting question! Here's my guess:
Inherent fragility of bees -- in order for one bee to survive, you need hundreds of them, all working together. Honeybees can't survive without their colonies in the same way that a single cockroach or mosquito survives. For a mosquito to survive, you just need one mosquito.
Additionally, their food sources are considerably different. A cockroach is perfectly happy to switch from rotting plant matter to garbage, for instance.
+Fuzion Retribution Well without bees, you would be dead.

Governments should immediately start fund every bee farmer and forbid bee killing pestisides. That is good first step.
I'll quote myself from another comment.
"No matter what farming practices you use, with 7 billion people the impact on the environment will be huge. The question is how to minimize that impact... and there is no simple answer.
Mainly because the environment is a very complex system and solving one problem can cause several new ones.
That's why decisions should not be taken lightly or based on anything other than objective facts and science."
How about we just kill all the humans? That way Nature could thrive happily without intelligent species fucking everything up.
Y'know like we've been doing for past God-Knows how many years.
Stefan Arneson
Nature is gonna thrive one way or another, we're not going to 'destroy' the environment.
The worst we could do is nuke the fuck out of everything and cause a mass extinction.Then a few hundred or thousand years later things will pick up again. Of course by then our species would probably be long gone.
And that's where the problem is. If we want to survive as a species as long as possible, then we'll have to change something.
Yup. The earth doesn't need us. Didn't need the dinosaurs. it was here long before us, and will be here long after us. Enjoy the ride.

I remember when i was child the huge number of bees surrounding me when i goes to my grandpa farm. Now that i live there, after 10 years, is rare to see them :( they are much more less.. fortunately i live in Italy and here the situation is not tragic like in USA and other countries, but it is still dangerous! In our farm we don't use any type of pesticide, in fact we have a less harvest but is more than enough anyway. The human must learn to take a cut on this madness of profit, capital and money (that are wasted in the end, think about the food we waste every day).
Money can't be tramutated in water, food, bees, wood and all the resources that we are loosing year after year in the name of money god. I hope that all this system will collapse before is too late.

bowser515 I saved a bee that had plopped into a water stream nearby, was just swimming in circles. Picked it up on my finger and put it in the grass, was gone a few minutes later.
I feel partially great for saving a bee, and partially pathetic because I've wondered if the bee is still okay for several days after...!
bowser515 I personally take care of several beehives, the best we can do is to stop using such strong pesticides and giving them a good enough protection to plagues, just this year, i've lost 10% of my beehives to Varroa, and there's still winter to come...

Sorry to hear that, but I don't have a hive so I'll still keep looking after the individuals regardless.
Ahhh...this reminds me when I was 10, I was holding a bunch of flowers, walking around the neighborhood to get more, until I saw people step on a Bumble Bee, and I quickly stopped them. It's wing was chipped, and I crouched down, setting the flowers in front of the bee. *The bee, thank goodness, survived,* and climbed on the flowers. Slowly getting up, I put my hand near the bee to make sure it didn't fall. And I walked across the street slowly, and I rushed to the other side when I heard a car beep at me. when I got to the other side, the bee was buzzing, and I slowed down. When I got to a playground, I went to a nearby hill, slowly getting down to sit on the sidewalk. While I was doing all that, the bee was pollenating the flowers. Anyway, the bee flew of the flowers, landing on the ground to wipe the pollen off it's face. After that, *I watched it fly away, back to the safety of it's hive.*
I will never forget that time, but I will always forget what age I was.

Honey bees dont really sting they pollinates flowers thats why god pls stop the mans greed
Yeah there should be a created chemical that kills varroa but allows bees to survive
Actually only a small percentage of bees die when they sting(if they do even sting)
honey bees kill the natural bees that are not domesticated so its ok if some of the honey bees die we have wild pollinators and other things that pollinate plants so it wont be the end until all the pollinators die and there are none that can be domesticated

You really think that, the extinguish of the honeybees won't have an impact on human society? 'In a nutshell' said it very clearly and I hope you remind yourself on the story of the bee and the flower (not the metaphorical one).
Bees spread the seeds of plants. It's a job, they do naturally. Now guess who needs plants. Not just for food but also for breathing?
Plus, you can't calculate or imagine right now, what would happen to the rest of the ecosystem when such an enormous pillar is gonna collapse. So let's not just sit and wait for the results of that way. Unless, you'd like to doom the next few generations even more...
There is only one sollution to this problem

and probably that will be the solution by making bees more durable and long lasting. actually we can modify and improve every single animal in Noah's Ark. Take this god.

I've always loved bees. Aside from their massive contribution to pollination, I've just always felt drawn to them. When I was eight I was running barefoot on our front lawn and accidentally stepped on a bee. It's stinger went into the bottom of my foot. I cried and cried and cried. My mother gently tried to calm me down by telling me it would feel better soon, but I told her I wasn't crying because it hurt, I was crying because the bee was going to die! :(

Time for Kurzgesagt to update this video. The bees have not died out. We don’t have a crisis. According to The American Council of science and health (and others) bee numbers have been steady or slightly increasing since the 1990’s. There’s a lot of easily accessible first order information out there that confirms there is no “beepolcaypse” nor has there ever been the likelihood of one.
I used to have faith in Kurzgesagt but it seems even they too easily fall victim to bad science and fear-mongering.
100% agreed.. a follow up video would really add to the credibility!
This didn't age well!

I live in Italy, North italy in a large green space filled with woods and countryside. Now are years that i don't see bees. This years i see one of them , dead. Hornets and wasps are common now but 0 bees. It's sad see this scenario on a such large green place full of flowers ecc. Years ago this place around my home was full of cute bees.

It hurts deeply knowing that media and science has been warning us about this for literal years and so little has been done. This effects humanity on such a large scale yet it’s treated like a side project. We need more videos like this 🙌🏻
attduke you know the bees are doing fine... however honey bees need to go, cause they are an invasive species.
I know this comment is four years too late but, honey bees aren't even 12% of all pollenating insects, let alone pollenators in general. Hell, they aren't even the largest pollenators among bees. I'd also like to remind that honeybees are an invasive species and, as such, don't belong in north America ANYWAY. Bees being gone would ACTUALLY pose a problem. Honeybees in specific being gone isn't a net loss, let alone American honey bees. It's ashame that people just believe what they hear instead of looking at the actual data. While I understand not everybody has that kind of time, I personally refuse to have any concerns about an issue unless I'm certain it really is an issue.
Yes because more TH-cam video's will some how solve the problem...
Question for you... What have you done with the knowledge you received about the bee's and nature in the last decade?
Yeah that's what I thought. NOTHING.
Because everyone is always waiting for someone else to solve problems, literally everyone thinks that way, and that's the problem.
You knew about the issues for decades and did literally jack sh*t about it with your living habits, spending habits, spreading Knowledge, donations... You did absolutely nothing.
So welcome to the tribe. I also did nothing. Just like everyone else.
I love how when the “food we take for granted” appears on screen, you can see the TARDIS there for some reason, it’s just so random and I love it.
The most nutritious
While it is understood that HONEY bees have a large global impact. we cannot simply forget the native Solitary bees of north America. Some like mason bees are said to be able to pollinate 10 times as many flowers in the same amount of time. In fact many honey bees are taking up valuable space away from the native populous. So in the end, if its just for pollination then, at least in north america, native bees are a better choice anyway.
Maybe?? Still we gotta save the bees!!!
I never mentioned that we shouldnt save them people. As a person involved in the agricultural industry I care quite a bit about the survival of all bees. I was simply speaking about the ecological effects that non native bee's have been having in my own area. Also, I care about all areas of the world, otherwise I would have stated that we shouldn't save them and let them go extinct. All species have a role in THEIR OWN ecosystem. The invasive species list is ever-increasing and we need to do something about it.

That One Plant Guy I agree Thank you for the info.
Keep doing What you’re doing! You’re saving the world
We have to save BEES. STOP WORRYING WHICH ONE JUST DO IT
Yeah same with some wasp families they help pollinate, think the honey bee is just a more manageable poster child for the cause. Also since it is used for food production it probably has closer ties to pollination of what we consume. I tend to leave wasps alone when i can but if they nest by a doorway, namely the door out front i do remove them. It is a tough call though and i really don't like killing any insects, not even flies XD
Am I the only one's who think honey bees are adorable? They're fluffy, they're tiny and they make delicious honey :3
I have a couple nests and they are adorable. I'll occasionally have one land one me, I've only been stung once in the past 3 years. :)

Not funny.this is serious
Wild bees are more important than honey bees because in many cases the wild bees are more effective in pollination. It is important to save both but the wild bees needing more help because of habitat destruction and so on.
Helping wild bees would be more effective.

The bee movie had the right idea
Aris Kolaretakis It all makes sense now!!!!!
Matpat: 1 specific honey bee is super invasive and killing bees or less population of bees and I think the bee movie was based on that specie
This is why we need genetic engineering, whether it’s to modify crops to not require pesticides or modify bees to make them immune to parasites. More research is needed to prevent disaster
Or use GE daughterless technology to control pest populations without the use of toxic chemicals.
This school year I've learned something. I've learned what kind of people make up with world. I always thought that we as humans now have reasonable common sense. I feel so defeated. Today in class, the topic of bees came up. This is English class. The people in my class, didn't think we needed bees.
I was shook.
I couldn't believe it, I explained that they pollinate and make pretty much every food possible and we absolutely NEED them. They didn't believe me. What do they think? We are evolved from nature and oh so high we get our food from oh factories I don't need bees to eat my chips and fast food. I learned the full extent of the kind of people that make up this world, more so that day. This year has been amazing in my cp English class (I am a junior in high school) I wish I took ap now.....not saying cp kids aren't smart, I'm just so amazed how facts and the truth do very little to convince people in general.

@@henchman1366 How can extinction make the world unbalance exactly?*
Life is actually impossible if things are balance or at least close to balance. Cell is the most basic form of live, it separates itself from the universe; to be alive, inside a cells is different from the rest of the dead universe, if it isn’t which mean it isn’t alive, it will just be some stuff floating around. Balance is a condition in which different elements are equal or in the correct proportions. To be alive is to be unbalance from the rest of the universe, that why living things will die. It’s calls entropy, to make it simple, here is a example, drop a sugar cube into a water cup; at first the sugar concentration is high (the sugar cube) but then it will spread out and eventually the concentration of sugar will be even everywhere inside the cup and now it’s balance . The cell is the sugar cube trying not to dissolve into the dead universe.

flour (and thus bread) is made from grains. grains don't need bees or any insect to pollinate, they use wind for this.
bees only pollinite 5% of the plants. The rest is done by the wind or other insects
Bees don't pollinate grains, only fruits and certain other plants.
MrSlyker its a joke
Conclusion: Garlic bread = life
Dang, this is freaking depressing.

*Shows TARDIS*
"Ah, yes. Of course."
You probably take Dr. Who for granted lol
I know I do, because I'm not a fan
I think it's a reference to the episode where they meet Agatha Christie and there's a giant bee alien. They mentioned in the episode that bees were dying as well
Hey! I think you all should do another video on bees, cause this one is not necessarily inaccurate, but does not address how important native bees are. Here in North America at least, native bees can out pollinate Apis mellifera on the order of 100x (in almonds). So, the notion that just honey bees contribute to 1/3 of food is disingenuous...native bees contribute heavily to soybean crops and many others. Love the work! Just as a bee lover i would love to see an updated video on the bee scene, if y'all are willing!
We're dead.
choke me daddy
I like your attitude, mate
actually no humans are the most adaptable species on Earth, you also have to look at genetic engineering could we bioengineer a species to pollinate plants for
your profile pic makes this hilarious
We haven't succeeded too well in that department with animals. (Looks at Africanized honeybees)
We also aren't 100% sure if we've succeeded with plants in the more direct genetic engineering.
(Businesses are fucking up proper scientific research like the Soviets and Black Books)
Here's a solution to the chemical: stop using it. We need less food here in the first world countries.
+Misero Especially considering we throw like half of it away anyway.
+Lynne the Trendy Tetraodontiforme It would also help if food companies would stop putting an odd surplus bit in every food package that forces you to buy another set so it all balances out. Proportions of common foods would be extremely nice so there isn't that much left over.
And anyway nicotine is not important.
+Misero but third world countries need that food. also 1st world economys are doing well meaning we need to be able to sell things as cheap as possible.
+Lynne the Trendy Tetraodontiforme At least here in London, we have food disposal special bins to be used.
small loan of a million honey bees

guys if you ever see a tired or exhausted bee, save it! its not hard all it takes is something sugary more specifically a liquid! sugar water works wonders!

This was possibly one of the most terrifying videos I have ever watched in my life. I'm going to have nightmares.
Yesn't
@@waltuh2.3bviews3secondsago3 I dinut now theat?
I wonto meet you
Well what can we do? Create something that kills those parasites for them to not be weakened?
Geneticly engineer bees who can defend against these problems
African bee's are genetically engineered bee's created in a South American lab to create honey faster, they escaped the lab and flew all the way to Africa and quickly spread out to all the centre countries in Africa. They are more dangerous and protective of their hive than any other type of bees
The notorious 'Killer" Bees, right?
stop Monsanto they are the problem

lol
stop motion Barry B. Benson is the correct spelling i know i shouldnt care but im a big fan of the bee movie so dont judge me
Berry WHO? Doctor Who ( 0:33 )
No we doomed Barry
i learned more in the one hour of watching this guy rather then watching science videoes for the past year in class
I havent seen bees in a long time all i see are wasps
Why isnt this a national concern :(
People don't care about the scent of honey
All they want in the end is the smell of money
Jacob Hoke because how are simple people suppost to protect bees from a smaller insect or whatever, and the 2nd mlst common reason is caused by farmers. farmers are too busy with their money than bees
It is a national, and even global concern, but most people care more about the next zombie and vampire movie, and most companies are trying to make the most profit despite pollution and unethical choices... So, it comes down to what can YOU and I do to steer the world into a better direction. In the case with bees, help maintain Earth in a state where they thrived. If you think the "nation" or the government or WHO or UN will fix it... then you don't realize that the power to make a change is with you and me, basically individuals.
Amber Leaf but most power is with the rich.
oh how wrong you are. Let me say it again..you are WRONG!
You see, rich only want you to feel like they have all the power. So they can stay rich. But how much of the worlds population is really rich? Not that much right?
And who is making them rich? Yes buddy..you and me.
We the non rich majority who are making the rich rich, have the actual power. We just need to realize it.
Also each individual has the power on his own too. Many drops form an ocean.
It's amazing to see how far this channel has gone.
That's why I'm subscribed ♥️
I'm gonna keep one in my back yard so it will be the evolution of bees when they die out. They can be the Adam/Eve of the bees
Solar Flare YEAH! Not gonna work but ookey
Solar Flare YEAH! they are pretty small so they wont live that long so you should get alot
No, genetics sadly don't work this way. If your gene pool isn't large enough, mutations in offspring will start appearing pretty soon. Ofcourse, todays genetics are advanced enough to possibly introduce artificial genetic diversity, but it will tale huge amount of time and recources.

Mark my words. Bees aren't the only pollenators.
Facts, but we can't say bees aren't important
@@Provitia honny adision huh?Honney bees are useful for mass bee extinxion at other versions! You can make chemical honny, it's about as good and healthyer as real honny!
@@natalliarosowski5701 While all of that synthetic honey seems promising it's not the only reason we want to keep bees. First, while bees aren't the only pollutors we can freely say it's one of the largest groups of those. Well, and synthesizing honey is not researched well to be widely spread
@@Provitia uhhhh what about bumblebees, hornets and the Hairy thing I don't know it's name on English. They also are good pollenators. Inspasily the Hairy ones in germany. And you can make something simelear to honny: first get water, sugar and pure chocklate. To make is a bit more sour add some lemon juice. I don't know if it will work but the method I came up with seams promising
@@natalliarosowski5701 first we'll have to ensure this works and second the more various pollonators we have (only in reasonable amounts) the better it is for us
Ya like Jazz?
It's definitely the pesticides. Bees used to be plentiful in history, and in our lifetime, they are endangered? Our doing, like always.
It's every single one of these factors, if you haven't watched the video...
There is more than one thing to blame. Why use the one example against yourself?
If no more bees than no honey and humans love it right so protect bees.
I Fucking Hate Bees
Thres other polinators too and not just that people hate bees

Another excellent video! You make such awesome content! 👏👏👏👏😁
Could CRSPR solve this problem? Could we modify the bees so they'll be immune to the toxin?
Kovács Bertalan Exactly
Phoenix Flames
ask monsanto to do it. it's their fault. Glyphosate
James Dean Fuck Monsanto they created the Roundup ready soybean.. They plant it and spray Roundup all over it every week, yummy.. Not to mention if you're caught saving the soybean seed they will sue the shit out of you, which they have done to many people..
Glyphospate goes after plants, not insects!
Go after other chemicals in round up, just leave the golden glyphospate alone.
Pesticides are pretty much essiential. Just let us keep the good ones god damnit.
There was a bee which was trying to walk but it's legs were broken. I felt so bad...
for it
The other pollinating insects, including the ones being attacked by invasive-species honeybees: am I a joke to you
african honeybees?
Honey bees are the majority of the insects for pollinating plants. If you can't even save the majority then what can you do about others?
Yes, they are. Nobody cares about the fact that honeybees are an invasive species. That's humanity for you...
@@devilboy4877 yes, but bats are also significant
lol
This is one reason why more people should try being a beekeeper and the fact that it is a ton of fun!!
Could we use CRISPR to help them?
If we could find the definite cause, then we would.
Is there some way we could help them to fend off the parasitic mites in particular using CRISPR?
The problem is that we are not sure if it's the mites, and CRISPR does not work that way anyways.
With a lot of research we might be able to help bees develop strategies against the parasites. But as you should know simply from watching this video the causes are plenty and it will probably only slow down the disorder not stop it.
Remember killer bees.
