Bee:Wild

The future of humanity depends on bees

Bee:Wild x PANGAIA

A charity co-founded by PANGAIA, Bee:Wild is a science-led movement dedicated to protecting our precious pollinators. We’re pleased to share that a portion of all proceeds will be donated to Bee:Wild. Their vital work aims to increase pollinator numbers through crucial research and the restoration of natural habitats. By choosing PANGAIA you’re helping to support bees and other little creatures that feed the world. 

Why are we creating a buzz about bees?

Pollinators are crucial for the balance and health of ecosystems around the world. These small but mighty creatures are critical to our food supply, they pollinate approximately 70 of the 100 crop species that feed 90% of the world. The impact of pollinators on our food chain can not be understated and their influence should not be taken for granted. A world without bees is a world without the things we love, like fruit, chocolate and even coffee. 

Climate change, pesticide use and loss of natural habitat has led pollinator populations to decline at a rapid pace. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists that as many as 24% of Europe’s bumblebee species are now threatened with extinction. Without strategic intervention and a concerted effort from committed organizations and active global citizens, we could face a world where bees do not exist.

Four ways we can help pollinators at home  

  1. Feed the pollinators
    Cultivating a corner of your garden or balcony with wildflowers or bee-friendly trees is a great way to provide food for pollinating insects. Every little patch counts.
  2. Create pollinator havens
    Just as we need homes, pollinators need shelter too. Consider setting up a bee hotel, drill holes in untreated wood for solitary bees, or leave patches of bare soil for ground-nesters. By giving them a home, you're not just nurturing nature; you're also ensuring a fruitful environment for future generations.
  3. Avoid pesticides
    When shopping for groceries, choose items labelled as organic or eco-friendly. This means they’re produced without harmful pesticides, especially the spraying of neonicotinoids, which are a massive threat to bees and pollinators. By supporting farmers who use organic farming practices, we can promote bee health and contribute to a healthier environment.
  4. Supporting Diverse Farming
    From buying locally-produced or regeneratively-farmed products, to supporting community gardens that promote diverse planting, and advocating for policies that champion a more regenerative approach to agricultural practices – each purchase, plant, or choice is a step towards a thriving future.
