EVIDENCE 1

Negative Effects of Pesticides

In the last 50 years, there has been a decrease of honeybee colonies. Where are the bees? Normally, bees have a built-in memory system so they can leave the hive, collect pollen and nectar, and then return safely to their hive. But, as they consume pesticides from the flowers, their brains are negatively affected, and they "forget" the location of the hive making it impossible for them to return. This has been decreasing the number of bee colonies.

EVIDENCE 2

Negative Effects of Pesticides

Pesticide exposure in bees may cause infections in honey bee colonies. Scientists detected 35 different pesticides in the pollen. They found more infections in bees that consumed pollen with these pesticides. These infections are a cause of honeybee deaths.

EVIDENCE 3

Negative Effects of Pesticides

The way humanity manages honey bees will define our future in the 21st century. The fact is that 70 percent of our crops are pollinated by bees. If the bees disappear because we are using pesticides, these crops will disappear because they will lose their major pollinator - the bee.

Excerpt from United Nations Report

This is what I have so far


Claim
The use of pesticides on farms should be banned because it is harming the bee population.

Reason 1
Pesticides are affecting the memory of the honey bees.

Support for reason 1
"their brains are negatively affected, and they "forget" the location of the hive making it impossible for them to return. This has been decreasing the number of bee colonies."

Excerpt from “Natural Farming Journal”

Reason 2
The use of pesticides on farms are causing the honey bees to have infections.

Support for Reason 2
"Scientists have found more infections in bees that consumed pollen with these pesticides. These infections are a cause of honeybee deaths."


Counter claim
I am stuck on the counter claim, I know how to finish up after thank you in advance :)


Respuesta :

A counterclaim, in my own words, is a rebuttle to any comments one might have against your Claim and one of it's reasons.

So! in order to fit this into your dilemma, you're going to want to ask yourself
"What might someone have to say against my reason? (Pick one)" 

Then you should start the draft of your counter off by putting *If my readers where to question with "well what if___?" then i'd simply give them a reason / solution like---[COUNTER CLAIM]*

Now, onto my ideas for a good counter / rebuttle..

If they we're to question your claim... (your choice!) ...
along the lines of; why stop the use of pesticides? They prevent produce waste. Simply put: "Remember the ultimate goal of having a honey bee farm, to harvest honey, not to kill off pests with detrimental pesticides.
So if investment into pesticides is so important to the extent of having to use such risky methods. Why not invest in a more beneficial method? Such as sheltering the bee's with an insect proof structure? Or do away with the whole idea of outdoor honey farms, and make a systematic facility with flowers, bees, sunlight, etc."

Just did that by simply asking myself those questions above, you got this.
And you have my permission to use this work if need be, but you've made it this far. Like you said & im sure of it as well after reading your work; you can finish this on your own. GL
