Bees are vital to the survival of ecosystems, playing an essential role in pollination, which supports biodiversity and the production of food crops. In Britain, many species of bees, including the honeybee and bumblebee, are facing significant decline due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change. The loss of these crucial pollinators would have far-reaching impacts, not only on the natural world but also on agricultural productivity and food security. Protecting bees is critical to keeping our environment and historical landscapes vibrant, as many of Britain’s traditional plants and farming practices rely on their activity for continued survival.
