Explain in more detail what the term pollinator decline actually mean. Show how detrimental it will be to our environment to lose bees.

In the decline section after the first paragraph

33% of the human diet is derived from insect-pollinated plants, with honey bees accounting for 80% of this

Expand of the solutions section.

As a society, we need to work together to protect ourselves from the projected outcomes of bee colonies becoming extinct. According to the USDA, “33% of the human diet is derived from insect-pollinated plants, with honey bees accounting for 80% of this”. If we do not make a change one third of the worlds produce will be gone which will lead to starvation. There must be a conscious effort to decrease the amount and types of pesticides that are going to be used in the future. A change needs to be made immediately if we want to protect produce growth. The government and the scientific community need to urgently develop a plan to save agriculture we we know it. (source 1)
