Farming now works against the nature either knowingly and unknowingly.  Today’s farmer are attracted towards conventional agriculture, they are transforming farming into a reckless act which pay no any attention toward the conservation, towards soil nutrition, soil microbes and the natural habitat of the pollinators. Nowadays Various synthesis fertilizers  and chemicals are used to enhance the production of the crops. Conventional agriculture are developed to make farming more efficient, but achieves that efficiency at a major cost to the environment, and the major cost is loss of pollinators.

Seventy five percent of all crops grown for food rely on pollinators, mostly honey bees, for a successful  harvest. Without bees, many favorite fruits and vegetables would be missing from the diet. But over the past decade the bee population has plummeted. Since 2006, bee keepers have lost over a third of their bee hives. One of the simplest way to conserve our pollinators in and agriculturally reliant world is through organic farming. Organic farming has been found to protect and support honey bees in different ways:

a.       Less Exposure to toxic chemicals:

One of the biggest threats to bee health is exposure to toxic chemicals like insecticides, fungicides and other synthetic toxins used in conventional agriculture. For example: neonicotinoids, a widely used class of insecticides is used both as spray and as a seed coating. These pervasive application transfer into the crops and end up in the plant’s nectar, poisoning the bees. Organic farming largely prohibits the use of synthetic chemicals and encourages using integrated pest management techniques instead of relying solely on chemical pesticides.

b.      Protection of bees’ native habitat biodiversity

It’s is easy to see why pollinators are drying off. Their natural habitat of wild flower and herbs is being replaced by pesticides saturated GMO crops. These chemicals are affecting the habitat of the bees nervous system and immune system, making them more susceptible to parasitic infections. Organic farming technique also exclude herbicides which means more wildflowers. These wild flowering plants provide a diverse habitat for pollinators to thrive. Other methods to overcome pollinator malnutrition and habitat degradation are introducing plant heterogeneity into farming systems by the way of crop rotations, hedge row planting, and by fostering native plant diversity within and around farmland. Additionally, adaptation of IPM techniques that encourages beneficial pest predators can help conventional farmers reduce the amount of chemical pesticides used, and in turn, the level of bee exposure to pesticides.

Thus, organic agriculture benefits by supporting healthier pollinators communities essential to nutritious food production.
