When bees goes extinct, humans will too. Bees are important to our eco system as pollinators and scientists have estimated that humans can only survive for 4 years when bees are all gone. So every swarm of bee with their queen are important and must be saved.Pearlyn Kang (Singapore, 2021-11-15)

Bees are essential to nature's eco-system. There might be long term irreversible consequences in their demise or attrition... whether intentional or otherwise.CHRISTOPHER HO (Singapore, 2021-11-15)

Nature always has its own equilibrium-please do not destroy nature unnecessarily. Let the BEES live - relocate & not eliminate. We need bees for pollination - our food chain.Yeoh Suat (Singapore, 2021-11-15)

Quite a shame while we pride ourselves as a garden city but the keystone species and pollinator are not protected and citizen is quite ill-informed of their importance.more education is needed to coexist with this species.
bees are not pests. they just needed to be handled the right way and killing them with chemicals is wrong.

The current way of exterminating bees is very harmful to the ecosystem and the world we live in. Bees are often misrepresented as dangerous insects in Singapore and kids are learning and thinking that bees are only going to sting and harm us but this is not true at all - in fact the reverse is true, we are the dangerous ones killing so many bees with our pesticides.Jin Hao Wong (Singapore, 2021-11-15)

Bees are a crucial part of our food chain. Singapore cannot talk about food security and promote local farming if it is still killing bees all the time. It's time to launch public education on how to co exist with bees in our urban environment. In fact, beekeeping for honey in urban cities are gaining popularity in places like new Zealand where I now live. There is a local school which even keep its own hives for honey.Hui fang Ong (Wellington, 2021-11-15)

It doesn’t make sense to treat bees, both native and imported species, as pests when they are highly beneficial to the larger ecosystem. A lot of other insect and animal (human included) species depend on the outcome of the bees’ actions (namely pollination) for their food and shelter. We want to be a city in nature, we want to be a gentler and kinder society, we want to be food secure - then we should protect native and western honey bees.No more reactionary pest-control, and no more fogging around bee habitats or bee food sources.

To protect natural insects & small creatures like bees, frogs, toads etc. They are killed by weekly toxic fumigation at reservoirs, parks etc which plants & insects lived in eco- system.Linda Ng (Singapore, 2021-11-15)

Even though Singapore does not rely on bees for food crop pollination or food security, bees in the wild still play a significant role in the ecosystem. Bees are major pollinators and help with the reproduction of many of our wild plants. Without bees, we may see a substantial loss of plant biodiversity locally. Furthermore, by protecting bees from chemical extermination through insecticides and pesticides, we can ensure that other insect pollinator species such as moths, butterflies, and beetles are also protected from such removal methods.Lastly, it is well known that insecticides and pesticides can travel up the food chain. Thus, predators and scavengers feeding on these bees could also be negatively impacted over time.
Thus, bees must be protected, and any removal, should it be needed, should be humane and free from pesticides and insecticides.

We lived with bee hives several months peacefully with no issue. Some people get paranoid by unharmful insects. Instead of eliminating them, “WE” need to be educated to respect the natural beings so we can embrace the nature. I am glad my kids watched the lifecycle of the bees from making the hives in our yard and migrating out. They learnt and enjoyed the nature！Life experience that can’t learn from the book 👍Amy Wang (Singapore, 2021-11-15)

Bees are essential for our ecosystems and should be protected. But we do have to find a way to fund the non-destructive relocation of beehives because bees can be dangerous to certain people who are allergic.Watanan Petersik (Singapore, 2021-11-16)

Xavier has helped me to humanely remove a beehive before. It was relatively fast and easy, and no bees were harmed.Bees play ab important role in our ecology. I think it is a travesty how NParks and town councils routinely engage pest control companies to just spray chemicals and kill a beehive.

I want bees to be recognised as sentient beings just like other animals and given the rights and protections of all other species. It is disgusting how they are overlooked when they basically feed the world with their busy pollinating of our crops and trees. Save the Bees or we are all dead.Shauna Baker (Hartford, 2021-11-18)

I have a 7yr old son whom I have raised to respect animals. Equally, I need to show him that the Singapore authorities is kind and respectful to bees. It is disrespectful and distressing to see bees being killed, carcasses all over the area with no answer when he asked me why are they killed when he has never seen a bee attack in my neighbourhood (we lived close to a tree where there is a beehive once and spent hours observing them). Why are otters seen and rescued (in my Facebook) but not bees. What will happen to the flowers (pollination - a good example to show pollen is in the movie Honey, I shrunk the kids). At that age, he is able to link these thoughts.What type of lessons are we imparting if we kill instead of giving them a chance to live elsewhere when we could have? Convenience? Isn’t the goal is to co-exist peacefully? Education is key. So, walk the talk.

Bees are essential to human life. It’s about time that we realize this, and act on it. Organizations to protect bees are proliferating around the world, and Singapore should do its part in this endeavor.Margaret Pan (Singapore, 2021-11-22)

Bees are important in our eco system.With current stances of our town councils to exterminate bees as the main and easiest method to remove bee nests is very damaging to the environmental and it's not helpful in conserving the greenery.
As most of the local bees are stingless bees, a more humane ways of removing the bee nests should be adopted.
It also shows to our younger generations that we care for the environment by taking an extra steps in conserving our environment rather than taking an easiest way out and disregarding mother nature.
