A report by Avaas revealed that millions of bees are dying at an alarming rate against strong environmental laws.
This devastating news is based on the planets toxic pollutant production, on to air, water, land and earth, bees’ habitats’ distraction (deforestation) as well as the global life-threatening climate crisis.
Bee keeping also referred to as apiculture is sustainable for the environment as it requires trees/ forest and water reservation.
Bees are pollinators and provide food for people and animals (biodiversity) without which humans can die. Directly they provide high quality food such as honey, jelly and pollen but through pollination they provide are responsible for fruit and crop production naturally.
Among other importance of the existence of bees is the production of honey combs that are used to making rubber, polish, wax, crayons candles and others.
The bee’s crisis can be aided by the European Union enforcement of environmental laws protecting them against world notorious environmental destroyers in the coming summit.
According to the report by Avaas; Millions of bees are dying, and their homes are being devastated. But in weeks, the EU could vote for a bill that would protect their habitat and give bees and the nature they need a fighting chance to recover – creating a blueprint for other parts of the world.
Conservative politicians are siding with the pesticide industry and other powerful interests against a strong law. In conversations with parliamentarians, we’re hearing that we might lose this fight – as politicians seem to think that people don’t care about this issue.
What happens in Europe matters beyond the EU’s borders. With bees under pressure across the globe, let’s show our leaders how much we care!
Bees and other pollinators are struggling because of toxic chemicals, because their habitats are being destroyed, because of droughts, the climate crisis, pollution, and more.
And it’s not just bees: researchers are sounding the alarm, saying more than 75% of Earth’s land areas are in poor condition. Our forests, rivers, and grasslands… it’s all under pressure. That’s why this ambitious bill, aimed at healing the lands and waters that have degraded, and restoring life to them, is such a game-changer!
The “artificial” world being created as opposed to a green economy should by a cry by humanity to save the planet ability to sustain life.
