The presence of bees is essential for the establishment of diverse and healthy ecosystems on a global scale. Across the globe, there are more than 20,000 distinct species of bees that inhabit diverse habitats.
Regrettably, a significant portion of our society has prioritized the elimination of these pollinators from our gardens through the use of pesticides and harmful chemicals.
In what way do bees contribute to the balance of the ecosystem?
Bees hold the vital role of a keystone species in the ecosystem, and the decline of bees would have a catastrophic impact on the majority of life forms. Many animals depend on bees as their survival hinges on the pollination of their food sources, such as nuts, berries, seeds, and fruits.
Here are some ways you can help #savethebees in your own community:
