Why are Bees Important?
Bees are essential pollinators that play a crucial role in the production of food and the maintenance of our ecosystem. Bees pollinate around 75% of the world's crops, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. They are responsible for pollinating the plants that provide us with food, as well as the plants that support other wildlife.
In addition to their role in food production, bees are also important for the health of our ecosystem. They help to maintain the biodiversity of our planet by pollinating wildflowers and other plants that provide habitat and food for other animals.
Threats to Bee Populations
Despite their importance, bee populations are declining around the world. There are many factors contributing to this decline, including habitat loss, pesticide use, climate change, and disease.
Habitat loss is a major threat to bee populations, as urbanisation and agricultural practices have reduced the amount of available habitat for bees. Pesticide use, particularly neonicotinoids, has also been linked to bee declines, as exposure to these chemicals can impair their ability to forage and navigate.
Climate change is another factor that is impacting bee populations. Changes in temperature and rainfall patterns are affecting the timing of flowering and the availability of nectar and pollen, which can make it difficult for bees to find food.

World Bee Day is an important observance that highlights the crucial role that bees play in our ecosystem and the threats they face. It is a reminder that we all have a role to play in protecting these important pollinators.
