(NEW YORK) Bumblebees are some of our most effective pollinators, but more than one-quarter of the species is facing extinction.
Bees, butterflies and other pollinators are under threat by habitat loss, pesticides, disease and climate change.
Bees sustain our lives in ways we sometimes fail to recognize. They are as an essential part of our food web from blueberries to pumpkins and even play a role in growing the cotton used in much of our clothing.
European honeybees that farmers bring in to pollinate crops have suffered from colony collapse disorder and parasites. While 15% of the world s food is pollinated by them, nearly 80% is pollinated by native bees and other wildlife, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Honeybee keepers can rebuild their colonies, but bumblebees and other native species need our help.
