Apiary and brood frame in Murià El Perelló, Tarragona Spain. Beekeepers and honey bees on the hive, Catalonia, Spain. Extinction of bees. Bees are disappearing at a frantic rate, putting crop pollination at risk. In recent years, beekeepers have reported colony losses, especially in Western EU countries like Spain. Bees are essential to our ecosystems and biodiversity. If pollinators decline, it means that many plant species could decline or even disappear along with the organisms that depend directly or indirectly on them. Pesticides, invasive alien species, diseases, and climate change with rising temperatures and extreme weather events are determining factors that are putting this being so necessary for life on our planet at risk. 78% of wild flower species and 84% of crop species in the EU rely heavily on insects to produce seeds.
