Garden Affair: World bee day

 May 20th is considered to be world bee day .This day is important to raise awareness about existence of bees in world .  Bees play an important role in ecological balance and maintain biodiversity in environment. 

                                                             

Why does presence of Bees matter to humans 

Bees are the prominent pollinators that help in production of food for almost 1/3rd population of world. Bees as pollinators play vital role in existence of some of the plant species in the world as they help in regrowth of plants. 

                                            The decline in bees especially in pollinating season like spring has been alarming . I had already talked in detail how Absence of bees in spring in my Garden was alarming this year. 

The simple steps taken by humankind of depleting use of harmful pesticides, preserving natural habitats for nesting can be a major contribution to preserving  existing of bees.   

It is the time for link up party Garden affair where we can share posts related with Gardening, Nature and birds . The link up party will be open for a week .

Garden Affair : Warm spring and absence of bees

 This year would be remembered as one of the warmest spring in the decades. The spring annuals are already withering with rising temperature which has also affected  the ecological balance as the adverse effect can be seen with the absence of butterflies and bees from spring garden. 

          These are the few glimpses from spring from past years when bees and butterflies were spotted hovering over the flowers.

                                                                    

                                                                        

We had reached almost at the end of spring season this year with rising temperatures and presence of bees and butterflies is almost negligible this spring. The possible reasons of vanishing of bees in spring is still  uncertain  to me but the warmer and shorter winter period that induced  warmer spring season     could be one of the reasons for their non survival till spring season.                                                                                                                 

The presence of bees and butterflies in spring is prominent as they are pollinators to ensure production of seeds, fruits and flowers vital to maintain ecological balance. I had already discussed the vitality of presence of bees and bugs in  Importance of bees and ladybugs in garden   post.
