WE NEED BEES:
To grow food, to eat well, to sustain our food systems, to foster sustainable agriculture and diverse ecosystems.
No Bees, No Farmers’ Markets
We need bees because…
• Bees underpin food security
• Bees support biodiversity
• Bees sustain ecosystem health
Bees are under threat because of …
• Habitat loss
• Pests and diseases
• Agricultural and garden chemical (especially pesticide) use and exposure
Everyone can help…
• Plant flowers that provide nectar and pollen throughout the year
• Avoid using chemicals (especially pesticides)
• Buy Australian honey at farmers’ markets – support Australian beekeepers
Bees are under threat and just as we need them, they need us too. Our lives are inextricably linked because we co-habit planet Earth.
