Pollinators: Key role for Biodiversity and Food
Pollinators, Biodiversity,
Food Quality
BeeLife, together with EU Beekeeping Associations and agricultural stakeholders, plays a vital role in improving environmental health and enhancing food quality through pollination activities.
By monitoring bees and other pollinators, we can detect health threats caused by harmful pesticides, such as neonicotinoids, as well as the ongoing loss of biodiversity.
These important insects serve as indicators, revealing when the balance of our environment is disrupted.
What harms pollinators inevitably poses a risk to human health, underscoring the interconnectedness of our ecosystems.
Bees and pollinators allow flowers to reproduce.
More flowers mean more food for people and animals.
≈ 15B€ the contribution of pollinators to the European Economy
Cross-pollination improves the taste, quality, and nutritional value of many foods.
