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!

@EUCommission I enjoy (I don't) how the Mastodon comparison is only used here on fediverse.

@The_Universality @EUCommission I'm not sure Mastodon needs more advertisement as "that tech nerd platform" in particular :D (more awareness of it otherwise would be welcome though)
@phl @EUCommission Indeed. It is just a good think to remember that EU being "in favor" for Mastodon is happening only on Mastodon.
