Bees

 Another endangered species, the bee, the pollinator of plants that we eat to exist

 According to Friends of the Earth - Since 1900, the UK has lost 13 species of bee, and a further 35 are considered under threat of extinction. None are protected by law. Across Europe nearly 1 in 10 wild bee species face extinction.

Causes of bee decline include habitat loss - less forage and shelter, climate change, pesticides, pests and disease, and invasive species.
