Over 75% of the world’s food crops need pollinators.

Yet, bee populations have dropped globally over recent decades due to:

🔸 habitat loss
🔸 climate change
🔸 excessive use of pesticides

Our fertiliser plan promotes healthier ecosystems, which are essential for bees’ survival.

On this #WorldBeeDay, we urge governments, organisations and citizens to help save these precious creatures.

We need to keep our bees busy and well!

To start saving pollinators we first need to drop the idea that only bees are pollinators. Then we need to educate about native pollinator conservation and ditch the tunnel vision on honeybees. And then we need to ban pollinator extinction biocides.

Hello there, @NMBA!
Everyone loves a honeybee, but our pollinators strategy does include awareness for other species, like butterfly and hoverfly species.

@EUCommission
Great info and I also see some action on the biocide industry in the EU! Please continue to use trade policy to force non-EU exporters of food like Canada to do something also. Canada used to have California forcing us into positive action, but that is now gone. Canada needs to be kicked in the ass on environment or will do nothing.
