Why is it ordered to kill millions of bees in Australia? Know, a pesticide has caused havoc

Sydney, June 30, 2022, Thursday

A dangerous pesticide has been noticed in bees in Australia. Crores of bees have been ordered to be killed to avoid its deadly effects. Bee hives are being killed by burning, using petrol or gas. The number of bees known as Honey Bee is declining in the world. There is an urgent need for its upbringing and breeding.

Bees are just as important not only for honey but also for pollination. At such times pesticides have become a time for bees. Experts believe that if the bees that are infected are not destroyed, there is a risk to all bees. The pesticide, named Waroa Destroyer, was found near a port near Sydney. It was found in a hive of bees 100 km away just two weeks after the pesticide was found.

Experts believe that varoa is so dangerous that it is dangerous not only for honey but also for beekeeping and production. Such fears have led to a lockdown for bees in Australia, known for its beekeeping. Beekeepers have been instructed not to infest bees. Beekeeping is a multi-million dollar business in Australia. If it is wasted due to a pesticide, the bee production will be hit hard.

According to one estimate, beekeeping could cost as much as 80 million if the pesticide is spread. Although this pesticide is nothing new, it is considered by the people involved in beekeeping in the world to be the most deadly but the Australian continent was the only one that has not been affected by the disease so far. Asia, Europe and America have suffered. Now Australian bees are no exception.

There are two types of this pesticide. One is the Varoa Destroyer and the other is the Varoa Jacobsoni. Both of these pesticides suck the blood of bees and clean the colonies in a jiffy. The virus cripples bees and weakens newborn bees. More than 600 beehives have been destroyed so far, according to Australian Agriculture Minister Dougland Sounders. One hive contained 10 to 30 thousand infected flies. The number of infected flies is still likely to increase.
