Honeybee deaths have hit record highs in the United States. For years, wild bees and other pollinators have been quietly disappearing due to human activities. Now even farmed honeybees are dying in alarming numbers. There are more than 20,000 different kinds of bees, and they all play a vital role in our ecosystems, while many are critical for our food system - pollinating around 75% of the world’s leading food crops which we depend on. Scientists have determined that the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, habitat destruction, and pesticide use badly affects all bees. The loss of both wild and farmed bees is already starting to limit the supply of some crops. These declines are part of a broader crisis and researchers warn that the loss of insects threatens basic functions of life on Earth. 🐝 But it’s not too late to help save our bees, and everyone can help, join @beewild.campaign 🐝 Link in bio to learn more.
