半岛登录平台网址下载安装手机版前木兰.co.uk博客Dave Goulson教授(苏塞克斯大学)写下蜜蜂和大黄蜂面对的问题。 最近,他和Clipper茶叶(生产有机茶品)联手再次强调蜜蜂和其他授粉者面临的问题,并解释如果失去这些蜜蜂和大黄蜂将如何影响我们的生活。Bee, bumblebee and other pollinator populations are at risk or in decline. Professor Goulson estimates that there are some 6,000 different species of pollinating insects in the U.K alone, but they face risks as a result of Habitat loss Pollution Climate change Use of pesticides (insecticides, herbicides, fungicides) [caption id="attachment_36158" align="aligncenter" width="650"] Hoverfly foraging[/caption] Whilst it is true that insecticides such as neonicotinoids are directly toxic to bees and bumblebees, many other compounds used as herbicides and fungicides are also harmful to these insects. Obviously herbicides get rid of weeds, but weeds or wild flowers are a food source for these pollinators. Pesticides can have what are termed ‘sub-lethal effects', so that the learning ability of the insects is reduced. Bees and bumblebees can learn which flowers are best as food sources, they can navigate to and from their nests / hives through open countryside. Also these compounds can affect their resistance to disease, and their fertility / reproduction.蜂蜜商店可能含有数种杀虫剂的鸡尾酒,蜜蜂在觅食时遇到了这些杀虫剂。 收集花粉和花蜜时,单蜜蜂一天可以访问/授粉四千花花不仅成千上万野花种类依赖蜜蜂授粉,而且我们约四分之三的粮食作物也需要蜜蜂和其他昆虫。 没有蜜蜂和其他昆虫,超市菜叶的广度和可用量将大为减少Whilst going organic and reducing reliance on the many forms of pesticide agriculturally is great help to pollinators, there is also good news in that small growers and even domestic gardeners can have a positive impact on the numbers of bees and others pollinators, such as : Planting a range bee-friendly plants in their gardens Creating a wild flower area in the garden or Allowing the lawn to grow up to form a small meadow like area Reducing the use of all pesticides - insecticides, herbicides, fungicides etc.
