Building a pollinator-friendly Australia
Small and vital, bees and other pollinators work together for the benefit of the whole ecosystem.
ACT For Bees and Other Pollinators are about more than bees:
we’re focused on flowers and plants that help pollinators such as bees, butterflies, birds
and other animals to thrive in the shared environment.
Since 2014 we’ve been collaborating with the ACT Government, community groups and schools
to promote the importance of bees and other pollinators for food security and environmental health
and to support biodiversity by planting for pollinators.
Bees around the world are in trouble
Globally, bee populations are decreasing at an alarming rate.
Human activity is reducing their habitat and food sources.
They are more vulnerable to disease and pests through the overuse of pesticides, herbicides, and modern agricultural practices.
Our food depends on bees pollinating a whopping TWO-THIRDS of our food production. Most fruit, nuts, vegetables, seeds, and livestock feed depend on bees and other pollinators' existence.
JOIN US TODAY to support pollinators and the amazing work they do for our food security.
