The dinosaurs of pollination: beetles! ๐ธ Through EU-funded projects like @pollinera-horizon.eu and @Butterfly, we assess the key role of pollinators, like ancient beetles, and the risks to biodiversity. Discover more: www.bee-life.eu/projects
Can European agriculture remain competitive if the ecosystems supporting it continue to decline? BeeLife's new report explores the role of Pollinator Stewardship in the future CAP and identifies opportunities for farmers, beekeepers and policy-makers. www.bee-life.eu/post/post-20...

๐ The launch event was only the beginning. #EUBeeLovers will connect consumers, farmers, beekeepers & institutions to promote European honey, protect pollinators and support a more sustainable future ๐ฏ๐ Follow the journey.
๐ Real change for pollinators starts in fields, gardens and apiaries. BeeLife connects field observations, science and policy to help protect biodiversity across Europe. That's our difference. #Pollinators #Biodiversity
This is what you see: conferences, panels, discussions. This is what you don't: bees building nests, beekeepers at work, apiary visits, and a team constantly moving between nature and institutions. Advocacy happens where science, people and pollinators meet. #Pollinators #Biodiversity #Advocacy
