Loss of Habitat

• Lack of habitat with diverse pollen for bees can result in nutritional deficiencies

• Urban sprawl has also reduced the land area available for migratory beekeepers to keep their bees (A World Without Bees)

• Bee management stresses like poor nutrition can play a big factor.

• Pollen, found to contain a variety of chemicals like insecticides is often food for their young, making the chemicals and their effects especially dangerous.
