Our pollinators are increasingly threatened by habitat loss, bioengineered agricultural practices which reduces food supply, pesticide danger and pollution. This is a reality.

Their decline jeopardizes our food production, increases food costs and exacerbates food insecurity.

Pollination is absolutely necessary for agrifood systems, supporting the production of more than 75 percent of the world's crops, including fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. In addition to increasing crop yields, pollinators improve food quality and diversity.

Bees and other pollinators also serve as indicators of environmental health, providing insights into ecosystems and the climate.

Protecting pollinators also enhances biodiversity and critical ecosystem services, such as soil fertility, pest control, and air and water regulation.

Blackwater Beekeepers Assocation recommends you participate in a local Garden Clubs or become a member of Blackwater Beekeepers Association.

Educate yourself so that you help make a difference to the survival locally of our pollinators.

You are welcome to all BBA member meetings to learn more about local issues.
