 <\/p>\n

Their hive<\/strong>, along with a few others, is located on the edge of a small wood.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A lovely meadow lies opposite their flight path, and a river flows nearby.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A little corner of paradise<\/strong>, somewhat secluded from passersby, ideal for the little bees to thrive.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid”][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1649758365446{background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]Bees are tiny in size<\/strong> \u2014 barely 1.5 cm! But they play a huge role<\/strong> in our environment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Foraging from one flower to another<\/strong> to gather nectar has an enormous impact: in doing so, bees carry pollen and ensure the production of fruits and vegetables. Pollination<\/strong> fills our plates and ensures the reproduction of plants from one season to the next.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”339497″ img_size=”300×300″ style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1649758365446{background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”339498″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”right” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Some statistics:<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

87% of the world\u2019s crops depend on pollinators. And bees account for more than 90% of these pollinators*.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This shows just how essential the role of bees is!<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1649758365446{background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

A species facing mass extinction!<\/h5>\n

“In 2012, nearly 50% of bee colonies were wiped out in Switzerland**. This 50% rate corresponds to the staggering disappearance of 100,000 colonies!” This is what St\u00e9phanie Vuadens, founder of Miels de St\u00e9phanie<\/a> and Arche des Abeilles<\/a>, tells us.<\/p>\n
