What’s all the buzz about saving the bees?

For starters, bees are un-bee-lievably important for farming and our environment. In fact, three out of four crops across the globe producing food for humans depend, at least in part, on pollinators. Pollinated crops include vegetables, fruits, seeds, nuts and oils. That means that every time you sip your favorite coffee, bite into a juicy strawberry or use a little sugar in your baked goods, you have bees to thank.

The Power of Pollinators

Pollinator animals, like bees and wasps, fertilize plants by moving pollen from one flower to another, causing the plants to make fruits or seeds. These little powerhouses provide many benefits, including producing higher crop yields, larger, more uniform and flavorful fruits and supporting biodiversity.
