Britain’s bees are in trouble. 35 UK bee species are under threat of extinction, and all species face serious threats. Right now, they need us almost as much as we need them.
The decline in bees’ diversity and abundance would have a serious impact on how our natural world functions. This includes our food crops. Bees pollinate much of the food that makes our diets healthy and tasty – from the apple in our lunchbox, to the tomatoes on our pizza.
