I learned more about why bees are such an important part of our lives and what will happen if they were to disappear forever.
BEES ARE ESSENTIAL
Bees and other pollinators are essential for two-thirds of the food crops humans eat every day such as almonds, squash, cucumbers, apples, oranges, blueberries, and peaches.
Apparently mason bees are amazing pollinators and do not sting. It’s really easy to create a Bee Habitat.
BEE HABITATS
Find a location in your yard with lots of organic pollinator-friendly plants. Plant a diverse range of flowers to attract lots of different bee species.
Avoid using any pesticides or chemicals on your plants.
BEEKEEPERS
Recent losses are staggering making it difficult for beekeepers to stay in business and for farmers to meet their pollination needs for important crops like almonds and berries.
