Why Bees are Important
Bee populations are crucial for pollinating the plants that produce our food. Without bees, our ecosystem would face an unimaginable crisis. Did you know that one-third of the food we eat relies on pollination? It's true!
Types of Bees
- Honey Bees: Famous for their honey and role in agriculture.
- Bumble Bees: Known for their strong and loud buzz, they're important wild pollinators.
- Solitary Bees: These bees don't live in colonies and make up the majority of bee species.
How You Can Help
Planting bee-friendly flowers and reducing pesticide use can help support local bee populations. You can also build bee hotels in your garden to provide shelter for solitary bees.
