process,humansextract far more honey from bees than they would otherwise create naturally.As a result,bees can sufferduring all stages of industrialized honey production.Honey is created when bees suck the nectar out of a flower,regurgitate it,and process it with other bees backat the hive.In their natural states,they use this honey as a food source during winter.But on honeyfarms,beekeepers take that honey and replace it with a cheap sugar substitute-one that's insufficient to meethoneybees'nutritional needs.As a result,honeybees die of over-ezhaustion attempting to reproduce the honeythat they require;others die of starvation or malnutrition,while others develop weakened immune systems andcontract diseases.Moreover,the negative consequences of industrial honey production ertend far beyond the bees themselves.Thehoney industry alsointensifies an eristing problem,a rather catastrophic one that has the potential to wreakhavoc not only on bees,but on humanity itself.As environmentalists often note,worldwide bee populationsare in decline.Because of the crucial ecological role that bees play in food production,this decline is nothingshort of an eristential threat to human beings'long-term food supply.It would be natural to assume that honeyfarming en masse,by cultivating and maintaining constant populations of honeybees,is part of the solution.But it's not.In fact,it's part of the problem.So,it's really time for us to see the world anew!(1)How many causes are mentioned about the death of honeybees?A.2.C.4.D.5.(2)What does the underlined word
