Inhlolovo yezinyosi yaminyaka yonke ithole ukuthi izinyosi zezinyosi zaseMelika zisanda kufinyelela izinga lokufa lesibili eliphakeme kunawo wonke emlandweni. Abafuyi bezinyosi balahlekelwe cishe ingxenye yamakoloni abo aphethwe.
Inhlolovo yakamuva yase-University of Maryland kanye ne-Auburn University ithole ukuthi izinombolo ze-honey bee colony e-United States "zihlale zizinzile," naphezu kokulahlekelwa kwamakoloni angama-1% ngonyaka ophele ngo-Ephreli 48. Izinyosi zibalulekile ekutholakaleni kokudla, zithulisa izitshalo ezingaphezu kwekhulu esizidlayo. Kuyacaca ukuthi inhlanganisela yezimuncagazi, izibulala-zinambuzane, indlala kanye nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu kuholela ekufeni kwabantu abaningi izikhathi eziningi.
Ukulahlekelwa kwangonyaka odlule okungama-48% kungaphezulu kokulahlekelwa okungama-39% onyakeni odlule kanye nesilinganiso seminyaka engu-12 esingu-39,6%, kodwa hhayi ngaphezu kwezinga lokufa kwabantu abangu-50,8% ngo-2020-2021, kudalule inhlolovo. Abafuyi bezinyosi batshele ososayensi abahlola izinyosi ukuthi ukulahlekelwa okungama-21% ebusika kwamukelekile, futhi ngaphezu kwengxenye yesithathu yabafuyi bezinyosi okwaxoxwa nabo bathi ukulahlekelwa kwabo kuphezulu.
Cishe amaphesenti angu-90 ezihlahla zezithelo afakwa impova yizinyosi zoju. Sekukonke, cishe amaphesenti angama-80 azo zonke izitshalo eziqhakaza impova yizinambuzane, amaphesenti angama-85 azo izinyosi zoju. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ngaphandle kwezinyosi cishe ingxenye yesithathu yakho konke ukudla kungalahleka. Izithelo nemifino eminingi bekungaba izinto zokunethezeka ngaphandle kwezinyosi, eziningi zazo ebezizoba yinto yesikhathi esidlule.
Izinhlobo zezinyosi ezingaba ngu-20.000 zigcwele umhlaba, cishe ezingaba ngu-700 eziye zabhalwa e-Austria.
Kungani izinyosi zifa? Amagciwane, ezolimo zezimboni nokusetshenziswa kwazo izibulala-zinambuzane kanye ne-monocultures, ukulahlekelwa indawo yokuhlala, ukungcoliswa komoya kanye nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu – wonke umuntu kufanele abambe iqhaza lapha.
