One out of every three bites of food we eat globally is because of pollinators like the honeybee. Bees—along with bats and butterflies—are a vital part of our planet’s ecosystems. If we didn’t have bees, we’d lose many of our food sources. 

Today, there is a mounting crisis hitting honey bees with huge consequences near and far. Bees thrive in ecosystems across the world—from Europe’s ancient forests to Africa’s vast deserts, and as far north as the Arctic Circle.  Yet, Honeybee colonies across the globe are collapsing at an alarming rate due to food shortages, disasters, and disease. Not only that, but according to the United Nations, the extinction rates of bees are 100 to 1,000 times higher due to human impact.
