How can we Protect Bees?

♤ Policy makers must take action to protect the bees and other pollinators.

♤ Farmers must be rewarded for practices that help wild bee populations thrive.

♤ Assistance should be provided to farmers who plan to support a wider variety of pollinators beyond just bees.

♤ Bee research must be strengthened, and must also be broadened to include research on pollinators besides honey bees.

♤ Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques should be used to minimize pesticide us and risk to bees.

♤ City dwellers can also practice IPM where they live, work, and play to protect our health, water quality, and pollinators.

And if CCD continues, the consequences for the agricultural economy — and even for our ability to feed ourselves — could be dire.
