Did you know that bees are not only great for your garden, but also essential for our food? Potrell partners with Honeybeez to lend a hand to our winged friends while contributing to a more sustainable world. How? Read on quickly!

Why are bees so important?

About 80% of all flowering plants are pollinated by insects such as bees. This means that without bees, many of our favourite foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and even some oils, would not exist. What is perhaps more surprising is that even the livestock we raise depend on plants that help bees pollinate. In short, without bees, our meals would look very different. So we desperately need them!

Unfortunately, bees are not doing so well. In Belgium, we lose more than 20% of bee colonies every year. This is due to things like pesticides, diseases and habitat loss.
