The problem

Native bee populations are shrinking fast due to habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change. Without action, harvests will continue to decline, ecosystems will weaken, and vulnerable families will struggle to adapt to a changing climate.

One of the best thing about this project is its focus on women’s empowerment by actively involving women in beekeeping.

Most of the world's biomass is plants, and 80% of all plants are angiosperms - flowering plants that require a pollinator. Given this, our ability to care for pollinators is central and very high leverage toward taking care of biodiversity on the planet.
