A speck of gold in fields of green,The busiest queen you’ve ever seen.She kisses petals, drinks the sun,Her gentle work is never done.A dusty coat of yellow sweet,The meadow dances at her feet....🐝🌸💛

350,000 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:
