Gina R ColliaIt's always lovely to spend time in the garden... Especially with little bee friends who show up wearing their best frilly bloomers.
Wendy350,000 pollinator species. Three-quarters of the world's leading food crops depend on animal pollination. Fifteen European bumblebee species are now threatened. The number of European butterfly species at risk of extinction has risen 76% in a single decade. Many mangroves — the coastal barriers protecting whole communities — rely on bats, beetles, butterflies to reproduce. Only 41% of countries analyzed by the FAO include pollinator actions in their National Biodiversity Plans. The bees did not deregulate the pesticides. Same spreadsheet, same hands, same logic that values short-term yield over long-term life. Plant one native flowering thing this weekend. Full piece:

AbejaBike90% of all bee species are solitary, no queen, no hive, just one bee doing it all on her own. 🤯
Blue-banded bee🐝💙: Native to Australia, it has bright blue stripes on its abdomen. It is a highly efficient pollinator.

Today is the 9th World Bee Day. Despite many new studies, wild bee numbers are lower than last year due to pesticides and habitat loss.

From 2020: #Mexico has 1,900 species of #bees and they’re all at risk: biologist
by Susy Buchanan
May 21, 2020
"All of Mexico’s 1,900 different species of native bees are at risk of extinction, says Ricardo Ayala Barajas, a National Autonomous University researcher based at the Chamela Biology Station in Jalisco.
"Most of Mexico’s bees do not sting and only 47 species produce honey, but all native species are endangered, explained the researcher on the United Nations World Bee Day, May 20.
"In an interview with the newspaper Milenio, Ayala said that around the world there are approximately 20,000 different named species of bees, and like in Mexico, every one is threatened by the use of #insecticides and #deforestation.
" 'A great effort is required to try to reduce the use of insecticides and make more careful use of natural resources, for the future of humanity and to care for the bees that help plants reproduce and generate fruits and seeds,' Ayala said. 'We must appreciate and understand them more in order to prevent them from disappearing.'
"Bee conservation is on the rise in Mexico, just as it is globally.
"In #Guanajuato, people who kill #bees or harm their #habitat can be fined up to 8,000 pesos (US $350). In #Yucatán, the government and communities are collaborating on a bee conservation project after significant bee populations have died, thought to be a result of crop dusting. A similar campaign is underway in #Campeche."

There are more than 20,000 species of bees 🐝 in the world.
🌿They pollinate 75% of the crops we consume.
🌸They contribute to biodiversity by pollinating thousands of species of wild plants.
🏞️They maintain ecosystems and ensure their balance.
