The bee population helps provide growth to one-third of the food in the world (Haltiwanger).

To the Australian Youth Affairs Coalition, I ask: who are we? The answer to our Australian identity fails to remain universal. Regardless, what honestly represents us as a country is found deep within our spoken language. What is written in articles and texts, by authors of non-fictional works, finely illustrates the characteristics of our national identity through language choices. Characteristics such as Ignorance, Discrimination and Hospitality in Australian non-fiction texts remain ubiquitous.
A human’s first reaction to a bee is defense. People are convinced that the bee is there to harm them by stinging them.

In the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey, power/control is a very significant theme that is portrayed greatly, especially through the power struggle between Nurse Ratched and McMurphy, a new patient on the ward. McMurphy is a strong male figure who possesses the natural male tendency to be in control while Nurse Ratched is a dominating and emasculating female who challenges McMurphy’s need for control. This thirst for power and refusal to submit to female control causes McMurphy to go against Nurse Ratched, ensuing chaos in the ward and ultimately, resulting in his own death. McMurphy is a new patient who enters the ward as a kind of “natural” man; he is sane and still free of the combine’s control, unlike the other patients
Bees in Decline Honey bees visit around 50-100 different flowers in one collection trip for honey; What would happen if millions of hives are declining in populations? The decline in bees is a serious problem that could cause the beautiful spring colors to turn dark and saturated without colors. This epidemic is worldwide, and could be a serious problem, more than one third of what goes on your plate is made with products that have been pollinated by bees (The Bees in). The bees have been declining in most of Europe because of the rough cold winters they have had the past years dropping their populations by almost 53%, as well as pesticides dropping the populations and killing of the entirety of a single hive ().

Every day bees are disappearing from their colonies at dangerously rapid rates. Everyone should become bee keepers and/or have bee gardens. It is the peoples’ duty to protect and save the bees.

Bees are hard workers and whether they are pollinating plants, making honey, or just flying around making that "Bzzzzzz" sound they are always working.

Everybody can help out, just by doing one simple thing. Get out and grow bee-friendly plants. You could decorate your yard with them, or even grow them in a pot. It doesn’t matter if you live on a private island or a rabbit hole. One person can not solve this problem, just like how one honeybee can not produce a whole jar of honey.
Bees are major factor in our environment. But recent studies show that we are to blame for the decline in the Bee populations. The main reasons are industrial agriculture (pesticides), mites and climate change. And we should care about them because they provide us with honey and beeswax, and provide a major ecosystem service in the form of pollination. Bees pollinate a lot of crops like apple, citrus, strawberry, blueberry, tomato, melon, oilseed rape, carrot, etc.
