Summary of À quoi ressemblerait un monde privé d'abeilles ?

A world without bees would have far-reaching consequences beyond just the production of honey, impacting health, other animals, and landscapes.

bees are responsible for pollination, essential for the reproduction of thousands of plants and fruit trees.

Without bees, the production of honey and other bee-related products would decrease, affecting industries like cosmetics and pharmacology.

The absence of pollination would lead to a decrease in the production of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, impacting food variety and human health.

pollination is not only done by bees, but also by other animals like flies, butterflies, and bats.

Possible solutions to reduce threats to bees and pollinators include planting grass strips, restoring natural spaces, limiting pesticide use, and providing resources for pollinators to thrive.

The decline of bee populations is a global issue, with wild bees facing threats from habitat destruction, intensive agriculture, pesticides, and climate change.

The installation of honey bee hives may not necessarily help wild bees and could add competition in the environment.

A world without bees would lead to a less diverse food supply, impacting human health and disrupting ecosystems.
