What are some realistic solutions to the death of bees worldwide? What can be done to prevent them from becoming an endangered species?

We should send them billions in foreign aid

Nothing needs to be done. Honey bees are incredibly successful and aren’t in any danger, they’re so far from endangered they’re invasive in many parts of the world. It’s all the other bees that need attention. Saving the bees by protecting honey bees is the equivalent of wolf conservation being based on breeding domestic dogs

Insects die from the lack of heavy metals, and from the EDTA.

weird bees have evolved quite far away from insects
other insects seem more closely related to each other than to bees at this point

Solution? Why i want the bees to die because they are a annoying and filthy species. The real question should be how can we make them extinct faster?

Are you serious? Aren't they hymenoptera?

They are, he’s just retarded. That tree would be wildly incorrect if you were looking at it trying to see evolutionary relationships, but seeing as this guy apparently can’t read a phylogenetic tree to begin with I wouldn’t believe any of the relationships he posts

none of the others in the tree are hymenopterans in the first place

I am seriously hoping this is bait.
If they start dwindling more entire ecosystems could crumble, and the farming of crops will grow in cost exponentially. Shit's gonna hit the fan if we don't do something about it.

Stop spraying poison on everything for the sake of increased profits. It's hurting everything, including us, not just the bees.
>but what about food production?
In the first world, we already produce much more food than we need. In America, farmers are often paid to NOT grow anything by the government, for economic reasons. Similar programs exist elsewhere.

What are natural alternatives to man made pesticides?

Western honeybees aren’t the one supporting those ecosystems in places like the US, Australia and everywhere else they’ve been introduced. Again it’s the native bees you should be worried about
>Shit's gonna hit the fan if we don't do something about it
Do something about what? They’re ridiculously successful and aren’t going anywhere anytime soon

Regardless he has Opilio, an arachnid, nestled firmly within insecta judging by this tree which is not correct in the slightest. The Lepisma is also in an entirely different position compared to the last of these trees that he posted, which showed it as being basal to the insects and Opilio being positioned outside the insect grouping

You are probably right but we dont know for certain if insects and arachnids are completely different from each other.
I don't think this has been ruled out:
-arachnid ancestors (sea scorpion?) become land animals 400 million years ago
-they give rise to all of the land groups: arachnids, insects, centipedes
Another theory would be:
-arachnid ancestors becomes land animals 400 million years ago
-give rise to land arachnids only
-meanwhile, ancestral lobsters make a landing around the same time, become ancestors of centipedes and insects
-200 million years later modern sea crabs make another landing and become coconut crabs (coconut crab is a land crustacean which simply cannot be ancestor of all land arthropods, it doesnt have enough of ancestral features)

is it made from whole bees (stinger removed?)

lol no, it's the food of the bees. they eat it. it's a mix of pollen with honey and bee saliva and it gets transformed into a more digestible form.
