Hi friend,
.jpg) Did you know that bees pollinate chocolate and strawberries in addition to flowers? Without bees, there would be no Valentines Day!
Tell your mayor: Bee my Valentine, make our city bee friendly!
We rely on bees to pollinate 71 of the 100 crops that provide 90% of most of the world’s food. What happens if the bees disappear? It’s simple: No bees, no food.
Scientists point to several causes behind the problem, including global warming, habitat loss, parasites and a class of bee-killing insecticides known as neonicotinoids (or neonics).
To save the bees we need our cities to be bee friendly. That means conserving native pollinators by increasing the abundance of native plants, protecting habintat and providing nest sites, and reducing the use of bee-killing pesticides. So we're calling on mayors across the county to take action now and make their cities bee friendly!
Take action now to make your city bee friendly!
Best,
