An informative animation (featured on TED-Ed) that explains the alarming decline of honeybee populations and why it matters:contentReference[oaicite:33]{index=33}. With engaging visuals, it outlines factors causing colony collapse disorder: parasitic mites, widespread pesticide use, habitat loss, and diseases:contentReference[oaicite:34]{index=34}. Students will learn how vital bees are to agriculture – pollinating about $265 billion worth of crops annually – and what a world without enough bees could mean for our food supply. The video also highlights human actions being taken to help bees, like changes in farming practices and conservation efforts. This science story not only teaches biology and ecology concepts (pollination, ecosystems) but also inspires problem-solving for environmental challenges, emphasizing that protecting bees is crucial for our future food security.
