World Bee Day celebrated today SHARE
A wide variety of plants critical to human well-being and livelihoods require pollinators. In fact, three out of four crops across the globe producing fruits or seeds for human consumption depend, at least in part, on bees and other pollinators. However, today the survival of these tiny food heroes is increasingly under threat. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has had an undeniable impact on the agri-food sector, affecting the livelihoods of rural and urban communities around the world, including beekeepers and other actors of the apiculture value chains. For this reason, it is of utmost importance to strengthen the apiculture value chains in order to build resilient livelihoods, create new jobs and generate incomes for small-hold farmers.
