Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: Since 2006, commercial colonies of bees used to make honey and pollinate crops have been collapsing. The loss of bees is a major threat agriculture. The use of industrial scale methods in agriculture seems to be one of the main causes of the crisis. Meanwhile, wild bee species are also collapsing due to the destruction of their habitats. These bees also play a vital role in pollinating crops and plants generally. According to scientists, bees pollinate more than 70% of the crop species that supply 90% the world's food. Given that the world's population is rapidly growing, more bees are needed to pollinate food crops. Scientists are calling for significant changes to how humans manage the planet so that honeybees survive and the world's food sources are protected. Scientists worldwide are joining forces to pressure governments to implement measures to restore bee populations. The strategies being proposed include incentives that encourage farmers and landowners to restore habitats that are friendly to pollinators, stringent controls on chemical use and manufacture, and stricter quarantine measures between countries. The collapse of honeybee colonies is a worldwide phenomenon and this collapse is likely to continue ___________. Which one of the following strategies are scientists involved in?
  • A
    changing how humans manage the planet
    Correct
  • B
    breeding programs to increase bee numbers
  • C
    expanding crop planting and harvesting
  • D
