Bees are insect pollinators necessary for the production of crops and balance of natural ecosystem (Stanley & Stout 2014; Kleijn et al. 2015). Bees pollinate both plants and commercial crops (Klatt et al., 2013; Klein et al. 2007) which then contributes to human nutrition (Chaplin-Kramer et al., 2014; Ellis et al.,2015). The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations estimated that out of 100 crop species that provide 90% of the worldwide food, 71 of these are pollinated by bees. They are also considered to be index species that can serve as an indicator of the current environmental situations; population decline of honeybees is a sign that there is an unusual change occurring in the ecosystem of their colonies (Japan Endocrine-disruptor Preventive Action, 2010). However, recently, there is a decline in the population of bees (Grixti et al. 2009; Cameron et al. 2011; Dupont, Damgaard & Simonsen 2011) and other pollinators (Biesmeijer et al. 2006; Ollerton et al. 2014). This decline is also observed in Europe and United States (Dainat et al. 2012; vanEngelsdorp al. 2011), only two-third of the honey bee colonies remaining in United States (Natural Resouret ces Defense Council, 2011).
#SaveTheBees is one of the many environmental advocacies that I am presently heavily promoting. I made these infographics hoping that it will be easier for everyone to understand and retain the information that I’ve always wanted to talk about: the bee population is declining and we need to stop it. We can help in very little ways including planting the plants that I have listed down above (creds to: x for the list). And besides, gardening is really fun! It’s a win-win situation: you get to enjoy the plants and help the mother earth simultaneously, isn’t that fantastic? Let’s hold hands and save the bees, guys! (creds to: x for the “breakfast without bees” line) 💛
