Bees and ecosystem

This staggering loss of the planet’s biodiversity has severe implications for our own survival, as we are more dependent on other species than we may realize. The progressive disappearance of bees, for example – who pollinate around one-third of the crops we humans consume – has serious implications for our food system.
Bees are some of the hardest working creatures on the planet, and because of their laborious work ethic, we owe many thanks to this amazing yet often under appreciated insect.
Our lives – and the world as a whole – would be a much different place if bees didn’t exist. To illustrate this fact, consider these numbers: bees are responsible for pollinating about one-sixth of the flowering plant species worldwide and approximately 400 different agricultural types of plant.
By keeping flowers pollinated, bees perpetuate floral growth and provide attractive habitats for other animals such as insects and birds.
