Although honey bees are not technically endangered, their numbers are diminishing and eight other types of bee species are already on the endangered list. Pollinators such as hoverflies and bees are crucial to our own surivival because they ensure the health of crops and other plants used by humans.
What can you do to help? Plant your own garden with flowers native to your region! This will provide an additional patch of habitat for hoverflies and other pollinators. However, make sure not to use chemical pesticides in your garden, as this damages the ecosystem by killing insects.
