Pollinators need protection NOW

Declines in the health and population of pollinators in North America and globally pose what could be a significant threat to the integrity of biodiversity, to global food webs, and to human health. A number of pollinator species are at risk.

Pollinators are ESSENTIAL TO LIFE

At least 80% of our world's crop plant species require pollination. Estimates as high as 1 out of every 3rd bite of food comes to us through the work of animal pollinators. Birds, bees, butterflies, and also bats, beetles and even mosquitos are among the myriad creatures which transfer pollen between seed plants. This function is vital for plant reproduction and food production.


Pollinators are essential for our food supply

YOU CAN HELP !

By giving or simply talking / blogging about pollinator.org

Or planting the good plants (through pollinator.org you can get a FREE Pollinator Friendly Planting Guide adapted to your region !)

Chronicle Books organized a honey-themed Bake Sale

etc...

beaded bee pin

How amazing is this beautifully worked beaded bee pin from walrus tusk?! Made with vintage glass beads on leather, I particulary like that it has a simple yet rustic look and feel.
