Save the Bees!
In our new Erdkinder project we want to aid in pollination and keep harmful insects away. Many of these so-called “solitary bees”, which look more like a flying ant, will happily take up a room in our “bee hotel”. About 30 percent of bees build nests above ground e.g. in tunnels. They provide important pollination services for fruits and vegetables. Bees are a critical link in the pollinator chain that affects us all. According to a 2016 Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services report, 75 percent of the world’s food crops — including almonds, avocados, chocolate and coffee — are dependent on pollination, and one of every three bites we eat is thanks to the work of pollinators.
Unfortunately, due to climate change, pesticides, and habitat loss, many of those bees are facing issues. Our Erdkinder program wants to make sure that we help our bees in their natural environment.
We will keep you updated on the progress of our bee hotels!
