Welcome To The Hive Embroidered Shirt

Bees are one of the hardest working creatures on our planet. Our lives and the whole world would be completely different if the bees did not exist. To make it easier to imagine, of the 100 crop species that supply us with 90% food, 70% are pollinated by bees. The bee population has been steadily declining by 30% over the last few decades. This means that if bees disappear, 70% of agriculture would simply collapse. Well, with popular fruits and vegetables like apples, oranges and avocados you should just say goodbye.

And what about the economy and the whole ecosystem … The bee population is exposed to a variety of threats, including habitat loss and climate change, but pesticides remain the major threat to bees. Ironically, people spray pesticides on crops to protect them from pests that can damage their productivity, but these chemicals are also responsible for killing bees, which would benefit most of the same crop. Pesticides – Paralyze the insect’s nervous system and may kill instantly, but surviving contact with bees can frustrate and forget how to find their way back to the hive. It is good news that such pesticides are already banned in the European Union, but there is still a long way to go to prevent this threat to bees.

How can we contribute to bee conservation? • Plant bee-friendly plants • More often in procurement from organically grown farms that do not use chemicals for their crops. • Communicate the importance of bees and their declining population!
