China: These humans are doing the work of bees

Pollinating plants by hand. That's the method used in China's Sichuan province because of the decline of bee populations.

    It is sad that the bees are dying, but the fact that this community did not fall on their knees and give up is amazing. Would anywhere else in the world do this? They are leading examples

    Bees hives are also being harvested with produce honey that is stored food for new bees. bees lay their eggs in the bee hive. most bees are used commercially to produce honey which most them are in the city bees when they come back in the hive the pollen is already in the other plantation. the absence of flowers make the bees migrate farther. China solve that problem by hand pollination which i think its not safe climbing trees its time consuming.

    Then again China is blessed with this abundance. But why claim the whole South Sea?

    The air is overly polluted no bees will survive. And chemicals sprays they use on crops kill the surviving bees
