Download or read book Where Have All the Bees Gone written by Rebecca E. Hirsch and published by Millbrook Press. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apples, blueberries, peppers, cucumbers, coffee, and vanilla. Do you like to eat and drink? Then you might want to thank a bee. Bees pollinate 75 percent of the fruits, vegetables, and nuts grown in the United States. Around the world, bees pollinate $24 billion worth of crops each year. Without bees, humans would face a drastically reduced diet. We need bees to grow the foods that keep us healthy. But numbers of bees are falling, and that has scientists alarmed. What's causing the decline? Diseases, pesticides, climate change, and loss of habitat are all threatening bee populations. Some bee species teeter on the brink of extinction. Learn about the many bee species on Earth—their nests, their colonies, their life cycles, and their vital connection to flowering plants. Most importantly, find out how you can help these important pollinators. "If we had to try and do what bees do on a daily basis, if we had to come out here and hand pollinate all of our native plants and our agricultural plants, there is physically no way we could do it. . . . Our best bet is to conserve our native bees." —ecologist Rebecca Irwin, North Carolina State University

This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bees play an essential role in the pollination of native plants and agricultural crops across the globe. In North America alone there are more than 4,000 bee species. In spite of their abundance and diversity, there is no accessible field guide for the non-expert. This book will remedy that situation by providing a carefully crafted introduction to bee identification for eastern North America. No portable field guide could include coverage of the myriad species in the region, so the book concentrates on identifying bees at the genus level. It includes information on the 72 different genera that are found east of the Rockies"--

Book excerpt: Finding Home shows readers an inside look at the lives of six beneficial native creatures through an engaging and educational tale of a mason bee's search for a new home. North America is home to almost 4,000 species of native bees, most of which fly below our radar as they perform indispensable environmental services. Finding Home: A Story of a Mason Bee is an informational realistic fiction, with a focus on science, nature, and conservation written in prose focused on bringing attention to these forgotten creatures. Finding Home: A Story of a Mason bee shows readers the unique lives mason bees lead, and also gives a look at some other common beneficial wildlife. Follow a mason bee as she emerges from her nest to discover her habitat is being destroyed by human development and is propelled into the surrounding landscapes in order to find a place to make a new home. During her search, she comes across various other important wildlife, such as bumble bees, ants, and hummingbirds. Each encounter teaches the mason bee and the reader a little bit about the animals encountered, and the book ends with a glossary of terms including more information about each animal seen in the story.

Download or read book Saving the Wild South written by Georgann Eubanks and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American South is famous for its astonishingly rich biodiversity. In this book, Georgann Eubanks takes a wondrous trek from Alabama to North Carolina to search out native plants that are endangered and wavering on the edge of erasure. Even as she reveals the intricate beauty and biology of the South's plant life, she also shows how local development and global climate change are threatening many species, some of which have been graduated to the federal list of endangered species. Why should we care, Eubanks asks, about North Carolina's Yadkin River goldenrod, found only in one place on earth? Or the Alabama canebrake pitcher plant, a carnivorous marvel being decimated by criminal poaching and a booming black market? These plants, she argues, are important not only to the natural environment but also to southern identity, and she finds her inspiration in talking with the heroes the botanists, advocates, and conservationists young and old on a quest to save these green gifts of the South for future generations. These passionate plant lovers caution all of us not to take for granted the sensitive ecosystems that contribute to the region's long-standing appeal, beauty, and character.
