& South Africa has 90% of its bees in the wild and they are thriving unlike the farmed bees - which is why we need to protect our wild bees from industry, particularly in our national parks @BarbaraCreecy_ @SANParks @elisetempelhoff ~ let’s allow them to thrive undisturbed @UNEP
Happy #WorldBeeDay!

In the wild in a pristine environment honey bees are a keystone indicator but can no longer be regarded as such outside of national parks etc due to presence of hives ~ which makes it even more important to keep hives out of our national parks - this would be a tragedy
