Bee Friendly
Bees are essential pollinators that play a critical role in maintaining biodiversity and ensuring global food security. By understanding their importance, you can contribute to protecting bees through sustainable practices, planting pollinator-friendly gardens, and supporting eco-friendly products and farming.
- There are 20,000+ species of bees worldwide, not just honeybees.
- One-third of the food we eat depends on pollination, largely by bees.
- Wild bees are often more efficient pollinators than managed honeybees.
- Native plants attract and support local bee populations.
- Bees can fly up to 15 miles per hour and visit thousands of flowers in a single day.
- A single bee colony can pollinate 300 million flowers each day.
- Bee conservation helps protect entire ecosystems, not just bees.
- Supporting organic and sustainable agriculture reduces harm to bee populations.
- Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) has significantly reduced honeybee populations in recent decades.
