I am certain that many contributors to EOS will know that the population of Bees has fallen dramatically over the past few years as a result of disease, pollutants, habitat loss and climate change.
3 Species of Bumble bees are already extinct and decline in numbers of all bees is declining rapidly. Bees are essential to our food supply, economy and quality of life.
§ Our food supply - they pollinate most of our fruit and veg
§ Our economy - without bees costs for farmers would rise, meaning higher food prices
§ Our quality of life - our gardens, parks and countryside - Bees pollinate 75% of our plants
