Can solar sites help save the bees?
ByI do think that 1 solar farm should be created in every town because a beekeeper who was named Oliver Collins had nearly 20% of all hives in his area and he lost about 65% of them in the winter so he started a solar farm because it was approved by local and state authorities cause it provides a pollinator habitat for the bees which is saving a lot of bees. They also said that “ the timing couldn’t be better for bees and wild pollinators, which have suffered massive population losses”and that “for wild insects and managed bees theses sites will be like a buffet of nutritious, native plant pollen and nectar”. Also 30,000 acres of solar sites are being built this year and I think that the more there is the bee and other insect populations will start coming back up again because it gives them food and other things they need to survive . But the environmental impact of having solar sites are the carbon reduction they offer, less water pollution, uses up the sun and earths natural resources which is a good thing so it’s not only good for the insects and bees but it’s also benefiting us. But the negative impact that it has on the environment is that it uses up energy and wastes water and it releases bad things into the air during the manufacturing process, but in my opinion the good that it’s doing over powers the negative things that it does to the environment.
