Pollinators allow many plants, including many food crops, to reproduce. Not only do pollinators contribute directly to food security, but they are key to conserving biodiversity - a cornerstone of the Sustainable

Special 2 : |
They also serve as sentinels for emergent environmental risks, signaling the health of local ecosystems. |

The main work aiming towards their preservation still needs to be undertaken and World Bee Day is an excellent opportunity in this regard. No major steps are needed; what counts is each and every action that
facilitates the existence of bees.
