I need to write an essay on what is happening to the bee population and need some help finding a few credible sources to write the essay.
I need info specifically on  what is killing them, the environmental impact of this, what impact it will have on the food chain, and whether or not this process can be reversed.
My professor suggested looking into types of fertilizers and pesticides, and genetically modified crops and how these affect the bees.

A major reason is due to pesticides and herbicides that farmers use. The pesticides kill the bees, and the herbicides kill the flowers that bees need to survive. Without the flowers, including those that come from 'weeds', they have no way to gather pollen, which is their food source.
