In
a study published in the journal Insect Conservation and Diversity, a
team of scientists from across the United Kingdom link intensive farming
techniques with worrisome declines in wild bumblebee populations.
They
focused on the common carder bumblebee, which (NFT Bombus pascuorum)
plays an important role in the pollination of many crops. The
researchers discovered that the decline of wild habitats through
intensive farming practices not only reduces wildflowers that are
necessary to the bumblebees but also harms other animal species such as
butterflies and birds.
British scientists, we thank you for
sharing these findings about the vital bumblebee. Let us all turn to
sustainable lifestyles to ensure the welfare of our bee co-inhabitants
and all treasured biodiversity. Supreme Master Ching Hai has often
spoken of the need to shift toward organic vegan farming practices to
sustain our environment, as in a July 2008 videoconference with our
Association members in California, USA.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: Organic
farming is the best. It’s the ideal for health and the planet. When I
say planet, I mean for all the inhabitants, the bees and insects and
animals alike.
Because if we’re using chemicals, then of course
they’re going to die out, sooner or later, big and small. That’s why the
bees are disappearing. We have been destroying this ecosystem. It’s a
very sad affair. The government has to employ another kind of farming
technique.
Otherwise, not just bee colonies collapse, many other
useful insects and helpful animals, they will be dying out. They’re
dying out every day now, a lot of them.
We got to pray for
Heaven’s help. And if you can, tell the farmers, tell the government to
change it. We use only beneficial products for agriculture. Otherwise we
will have nothing left.
