🍯 Why Do We Need Bees?
Bees are vital for our environment and economy.
🌼 They pollinate over 75% of the UK’s wildflowers and many of our fruits & veggies. Sadly bees are under threat, and without them, so is our food and economy.
Bees and other pollinators, such as butterflies, bats and hummingbirds, are increasingly under threat from human activities. Pollination is, however, a fundamental process for the survival of our ecosystems. Nearly 90% of the world’s wild flowering plant species depend, entirely, or at least in part, on animal pollination, along with more than 75% of the world’s food crops and 35% of global agricultural land. Not only do pollinators contribute directly to food security, but they are key to conserving biodiversity. To raise awareness of the importance of pollinators, the threats they face and their contribution to sustainable development, the UN designated 20 May as World Bee Day.
Together, let’s make our community more bee-friendly!
