For the world to set aside a day to celebrate this lovely creature it means it's not just lovely but also very beneficial. I wouldn't have known that Bees of all creature are so special not until seeing the tag #WORLDBEEDAY2022 all over the place and then I took my time to study and Make research then I find out that they are wonderful creatures indeed and also worth celebrating. Bees helps man alot, helps our plants, serves as food but I know so many people did not know this.
I'll be sharing some of the advantages and disadvantages of bees...
ADVANTAGE OF BEES:
- source of food - As we all know that honey are derived from bees, honey a very nutritious food contains a lot of vitamins, minerals, calcium, zinc etc.
So many people even prefer using honey to sugar just like me, I use it in my tea, pap, garri, atimes I even take it ordinarily. I learnt is good for old people aswell in exchange of sugar, sugar causes havoc to the body of old people than honey does. Honey is very good for the body.
- Plant pollination - Pollination is the transfer of pollen to a plant to allow fertilization... Bees pollinate a huge percentage of food crops for human consumption. They make fertilization easy by travelling from plant to plant transferring pollen.
Research also shows that bees are very critical to our environment... Bees are critical creatures with a lot of benefits.
- Production of wax - Bees wax are used to make candles and can also be added to beauty products.
I also learnt bees has antibacterial properties, it kills bacteria and help against certain infection in skin wounds.
Imagine one insect with a lot of benefits as this, it really Worth celebrating...
Nevertheless I think it's major disadvantage is the STING... Bees stings, especially when being disturbed in their hives..
Above all I think bees should be preserved.
