NEED TO KNOW:
40% of #bees and #pollinator species endangered worldwide
25% of bee species no longer showing up on field records across the #planet
76% decrease by mass in flying #insects in Germany ON NATURE RESERVES over a 26 year period
Bee populations decreasing by 5% each year
All caused by humans.
Primarily due to what we choose to eat and how we choose to produce it.
