Bee Friendly Australia!
OUR FOOD DEPENDS ON BEES
Bees pollinate a whopping TWO THIRDS of our food production.
Most of the Fruit, Nuts, Vegetables, Seeds, and Livestock feed is dependant on the existence of Bees.
BEES AROUND THE WORLD ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE
They are more vulnerable to disease and pests through the overuse of pesticides, herbicides, and modern agricultural practices.
Human activity is reducing the habitat and food sources.
