Beekeeper in protective clothing inspecting a brood frame. Bees are the main pollinators in most ecosystems and play a crucial role in the food chain. The number of honeybee colonies in Europe has generally decreased since the 1960s due to habitat loss, climate change and pesticide use. Photographed in Tarragona, Spain.
