The bee plays a critical role in our ecosystem, however, for the last decade or so, bee populations have been declining at an alarming rate. This is due to a number of reasons, such as pesticide use, climate change, pollution and more.

There are a number of small lifestyle changes that you can make to help support our ecosystem and its bee populations.
