Why Help Conserve Pollinators?

Bees and other animals are responsible for pollinating close to 90% of the world's flowering plants including a third of our food crops.

There are over 20,000 known bee species worldwide, and many are in decline due to habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change. Take part in bee conservation science by contributing your sightings!
