Quote the genius, the inventor of the theory of relativity; new conception of time, it was "If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have four years of life remaining. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man. "
Apocalyptic quotations in the newspapers of the world since 1994 it sparked a debate about its authenticity. People forget the message: without the millions of organisms that work in concert life, the biosphere does not work. There was no oxygen to breathe, clean water to drink, fertile soil for planting, the results of which can be harvested, and food to eat.
Bees disappearing.
In 2006, the public in Europe and the United States shocked the Daily Telegraph report about colony collapse disorder (CCD). Agribusiness bank, Rabobank, said bee colonies failed to survive in the winter of 2011 in the U.S. rose from 10 percent to 30-35 percent. The same thing happened in Latin America.
In Germany, Beekeepers Association stated, bee population declined to 25 percent. In some areas, even bees disappeared without a trace. They suspect there is a kind of poison that destroy colonies of bees, in addition to the widespread use of transgenic seeds that weakens the body's systems and kill bees.
Professor Keith S Delaplane of the Department of Entomology University of Georgia, Athens, USA, in his article, "On Einstein, Bees and Survival of the Human Race" (2010), wrote that the collapse of bee colonies is not only of concern to beekeepers. The most important thing is not honey, but pollination, food and related supplies.
Nevertheless, Einstein's statement still considered excessive. Is not food crops such as corn, wheat, and rice are pollinated by the wind? Is it true that human life depends on bees?
Carbohydrate products such as corn, wheat, and rice is an important food, but humans need a variety of foods.
Entomologist McGregor SE Insect Pollination of Cultivated in Crops Plants (1976) states, "One third of our food, directly or indirectly, depend on products from insect-pollinated plants. Honeybees account for each chew third of the food we chew. "
The more important.
October last year, the National Academy of Sciences indicates, the U.S. agricultural sector is too dependent on honey bees as pollinators. Reuters reported, the U.S. agricultural production is dependent on bees to reach 15 billion U.S. dollars per year, nearly a third of agri-food products in the U.S..
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), global food production during 1961-2006 from animal-pollinated plants 80 percent by honey-bees around 5 per cent in developed countries and 8 per cent in developing countries.
Delaplane wrote, 75 percent of the plants in the world to benefit to some extent on pollination by animals and only 10 percent from 75 percent depending entirely on pollination by animals.
However, the requirement of foodstuffs of animal-pollinated plants continue to grow, from 3.6 percent in 1961 to 6.1 percent in 2006. More and more people love ice cream, tar blueberry, almond chocolate, coffee, and various types of fruit.
Then the UN Food Price Index has become increasingly important to know how risk reduction honeybees affect food security.
However, because plants that rely on animal pollination tends to be low compared to the level of production is not dependent on pollination, even much lower than the cash proceeds earth dredging and deforestation, their habitat more disturbed.
Web of life.
Climate change impacts increasingly clear that the most serious threat to life. Most of the human greed that triggered unload earth, drain the oceans, creating and using chemicals and genetically modified seeds in agriculture, as well as building infrastructure is squeezed into the woods. By-products is the invasion of alien species, pollution, droughts, and disasters, which destroyed the habitat of wild animals and insects.In Molo, South Central Timor, East Nusa Tenggara, until the late 1990s, beehive hanging from the branches of a tree honey. Bee colonies even made of stone.
However, demolition marble stone in the mountains increasingly exploitative since the 2000s destroyed the green hills. The beauty of the mountainous areas in the fertile territory to biological diversity in forests depleted in creamed.
"Bees lost, about 75 percent of the honey tree runs," said Nifron Ba'un (33). "Everything was destroyed, including traditional rituals and nature-related activities. Togetherness is lost, there is no longer harvested together. "
Amazing complexity and beauty of nature is the result of a long evolutionary span, celebrated the various communities in the corners of the earth with various rituals that are classified as remnants of pagan.
"We've been doing rituals for bees, but have not succeeded. Society increasingly uncertain due to the customary rituals in pagan-religious right, "said Nifron.
In the destruction of nature, Einstein was really a crushing statement, "Only two things are eternal, the universe and human stupidity. However, I'm not sure about the former. "
