    BEE the Force of Change

    Did you know that honeybees are the most important pollinators for flowers, fruits, and vegetables?

    Bees are part of a small group of Keystone species which play a key role in keeping our ecosystem balanced and thriving through the pollination of plants and flowers.  Cross-pollenization – the transfer of pollen between plants is critical to the production of fruits, vegetables and grain.  Our little honeybee workers are active from sunup to sundown, keeping our global economy buzzing before returning to their hives.

    According to Greenpeace, bees pollinate over 80% of the crops that we eat daily, and unfortunately 33% of the worldwide honeybee population has died off in just a few years.

    The main reasons: pesticides used from commercial farming, diseases, and parasites.

    What can we (humans) do to help? To name a few: spread the word, support, and promote safe agricultural practices that benefit pollination services within agricultural systems i.e., crop rotation, ecological focus areas at farm level and organic farming.

    Let’s work together in saving our hardworking pollinator, the Busy Bee!
