Essential in the memories of the future
- Who doesn’t know well how good it is to have… Have you ever heard that the end of bees can be our end? Our end I do not know, but that of our environment does.
The bee is a very important insect. Their work goes beyond honey. We could live without honey, but if they stopped doing other jobs… There is the most important role of the bee in our environment: pollination, flower fertilization.
“Among the memories of childhood I have saved the days I have gone with my grandparents to collect chestnuts. With the help of old boots, the chestnuts were pulled out by stepping the stems. When I was filling my two pockets, I approached my grandmother to meet in the basket. How many fingertips we painted with the sharp needles of these morautomobiles… I throw away while the chestnuts were being smoked… I didn’t know that if the bee wasn’t in the chestnut flowers, we couldn’t live that moment.”
Flowers attract bees through sweet nectar. When the bee goes in search of nectar, with the comb of the leg collects the pollen forming balls. This pollen is the male part of the plants. The bee will carry this pollen so that the flowers can bear their fruit; from flower to flower, cutting the male in female piece.
“My young cousins, who are very fond of blackberry, were looking for the largest shrubland, where they were also the largest shrubs. Uncured, green and black mulberries. We cleared the days with purple lips… I didn’t know that if the bee wasn’t in the flowers of the blackberry, we wouldn’t live that moment.”
There are countries that have lost the bee. Of course, they are aware of the problems associated with the loss of the bee. Peach tree flowers need to be artificially fertilized one by one.
“Txoootx! How many cocks of juerga next to the cider, how many guts, bad verses and dances each year throughout the Basque Country… I didn’t know that if the bee wasn’t in the apple flowers, we wouldn’t live that moment.”
Well, that's it. The bee is a very important insect. Also in your future memories.
