A Roof for Bees We support local beekeeping
The bee population has been declining at an alarming rate for a number of years now, with some areas even disappearing altogether.
In France, more than 30% of bee colonies disappear every year.
As a result of this ‘massacre’, 15,000 beekeepers have gone out of business in the last 10 years.
Bee Colony Collapse Disorder’ is a phenomenon in which bees suddenly disappear from hives, with no trace of dead or living bees to be found nearby.
Pesticides are thought to be the main cause, affecting the central nervous system, but it is probably a combination of factors (parasites, predators, changes to their habitat and dwindling resources, climate change, etc.) and pesticide cocktails.
As bees play a key role as pollinators, this syndrome is very worrying and has serious consequences for our entire eco-system, both environmentally and economically.
Its disappearance would be a real catastrophe for nature and for human beings.
We know that 80% of crops depend on the action of pollinating insects.
Sponsorship means you can help to protect bees and develop colonies.
It means supporting local, traditional and sustainable beekeeping.
