This World Bee Day, May 20th, we’re sounding the alarm—and sharing hope. Beekeeper Ayla reports losing 50% of her colonies this year, while beekeepers nationwide face losses up to 80%, threatening not only the bees but the foods we rely on them to pollinate—like almonds, which yield 10x more with bees. But we can help turn things around: by planting native flowers, avoiding harmful neonicotinoid pesticides, and supporting local, organic farms. Every small action adds up. Together, we can protect the bees and build a better buzz.
