Information Report On Bees
WALT
We are learning to write an information report.
Success Criteria:
Success Criteria:
We will plan and then write an information report on a topic of our choice related to bees.
Our report will:
- Be interesting!
- Give information about a topic of our choice related to bees.
- Show a clear link to our planning.
- Start with an opening statement about our topic.
- Have at least 3 paragraphs. Each paragraph will have an opening statement
- and a series of facts related to that statement.
- Include some complex or compound sentence structures.
- Include at least one diagram, photograph, illustration or map to go with the text.
- Finish with a general statement about the topic.
- Use information from at least 3 different sources. This information will be written
- in our own words and we will write down our sources at the end of our report.
What Would The World Be Like Without Bees?
Bees are declining at a frightening rate and this is why?
Did you know bees are declining at a frightening rate in the past decade?
This is happening because of colony collapse disorder, global warming, the
varroa mite and pesticides. It has been found that tiny amounts of neonics
have caused honeybees to struggle to find where their food sources are or
how to find their way home again. Colony collapse disorder is when they
slowly die out or abandon their hives. During the winter the varroa mite
sucks the honeys bees blood and attacks the honey bees developing larvae.

A world without bees just couldn’t sustain because the bees feed ninety percent
of humanity and without them we would have half the amount of fruit and vegetables.
Some foods they pollinate are tomatoes, strawberries, lemons and more. Without bees
we would lose heaps of plants because we need bees to pollinate them so that they
can grow into fruit or vegetables. Bees pollinate flowers to get pollen to make into
nectar, but some of the pollen sticks to their fur like velcro and when it lands on
another flower the pollen brushes off them and the pollen goes on the other flower
and then that flower makes seeds. So without bees we would not be able to have
pizza because they pollinate the tomatoes that go on the base.

If bees went extinct we would lose most of the plants they pollinate.
This would mean that the foods would be less available to other people
because the farmers will want to keep lots of the food to themselves and
maybe their friends. If bees went extinct it would mean more work for farmers
and others because they would have to pollinate the plants by hand. This would
be more expensive and a lot more work for heaps of other people. The prices of the
food would go up. To stop bees from going extinct we need to make sure that we look
after them and try to stop using pesticides and make sure that we look after our planet.
