The Earth is Running Out of Bumblebees, and it matters

The decrease in pollinating insects is no laughing matter. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), about 35% of invertebrate pollinators, particularly bees and butterflies, and about 17% of vertebrates, such as bats, are endangered.

Many other international institutions warn of this danger; they allude to the threat to global food production.

According to the organization, more than 75% of the world’s food crops depend on pollination.

The state of pollinating insects, and in particular bumblebees, is dramatic. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male part of a flower to its female part. The result is its fertilization.

“In the United States, they began to study it and discovered that between 2008 and 2013, wild bees had decreased by 23%, and all the alarms went off: the disappearance of 23% of the insects that pollinate crops is a very serious matter.”

A 2017 study on flying insects in protected areas in Germany found that, in the previous 20 years, up to 75% of the biomass (the number of living organisms in an area at a given time) had disappeared.
