Apiculture
As pollinators, bees play a role in every aspect of the ecosystem.
They support the growth of trees and other plants, which absorb carbon from the atmosphere and serve as food and shelter for creatures large and small. Bees contribute to complex, interconnected ecosystems that allow a diverse number of different species to co-exist.
Honeybees are responsible for pollinating agricultural crops that make up one-third of our diet, including fruits and vegetables.
