    Over 75% of the world’s food crops need pollinators.

    Yet, bee populations have dropped globally over recent decades due to:

    🔸 habitat loss
    🔸 climate change
    🔸 excessive use of pesticides

    Our fertiliser plan promotes healthier ecosystems, which are essential for bees’ survival.

    On this #WorldBeeDay, we urge governments, organisations and citizens to help save these precious creatures.

    We need to keep our bees busy and well!

    @EUCommission

    Good to see the EU Commission's move to Mastodon has resulted in the development of excellent memes.

      @EUCommission If you really mean this, the EC should take action to tighten the laws regarding the use of pesticides. But it seems you're planning the opposite. https://www.pan-europe.info/press-releases/2025/12/eu-commission-retreats-worst-plan-still-opens-door-unlimited-pesticide

        @EUCommission

        While I support this initiative – who doesn't want less pesticides, cleaner waterways, more nature – #WorldBeeDay is about all the other bees, whose numbers are plummeting hand in hand with habitat loss. Honeybees don't need saving; that would be like saying we have to save the birds and we start with the chicken.

        "Keeping hives to save bees is like keeping chickens to save birds"
        https://www.irishtimes.com/news/science/keeping-hives-to-save-bees-is-like-keeping-chickens-to-save-birds-1.4023891

        "The best way to help bees? Don’t become a beekeeper like I did - When I set up my honeybee hive, I had no idea I might be harming wild bee species. Now I’ve found better ways to encourage biodiversity"
        https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/apr/07/help-bees-dont-become-a-beekeeper-honeybeee-hive-biodiversity

            @riggbeck @EUCommission Meh. It's just the LinkedIn meme ham-fistedly shoehorned onto Mastodon.

            Political orgs trying to communicate online are hilarious. Can you imagine any other language where they'd go "we don't need a translator, I'll just make similar noises and they'll accept us as one of their own"?

                I love the image, but the "excessive use of pesticides" is absolutely something the EU commission could and should be doing something about. Ban glyphosate, please.

                  The Mastodon version would be "I installed Linux on this dandelion in my organic permaculture farm and set up a bash script that automatically extracts nectar every 6 hours"

                  Also, the bee is neurodivergent

                    @EUCommission
                    AND lack of biodiversity due to large fields with one single type of vegetables.
                    Imagine of eating one single kind of food for your life; that would be a very poor nutritional diet -> not a long life.

                        @EUCommission I don't get it what Mastodon has to do with bees.

                        Do you post similar things to suggest facebook, google or instagram are out of touch with reality, too?

                        Or, 🤔 Since you post it on mastodon, you want to show how you give in to silliness?

                        This is too goolge for me - , err… meta. 🤯

                                @EUCommission I enjoy (I don't) how the Mastodon comparison is only used here on fediverse.

                                  Over 75% of the world’s food crops need pollinators.

                                  Yet, bee populations have dropped globally over recent decades due to:

                                  🔸 habitat loss
                                  🔸 climate change
                                  🔸 excessive use of pesticides

                                  Our fertiliser plan promotes healthier ecosystems, which are essential for bees’ survival.

                                  On this #WorldBeeDay, we urge governments, organisations and citizens to help save these precious creatures.

                                  We need to keep our bees busy and well!

                                  Warum gibt es die Meldung, daß die europäische Commission den Bauern helfen will, da die Düngemittel knapp werden???

                                    Another great #succesful post in that #flea #circus that is the #EU and the community manager of this account acting as a track manager.

                                    Does the community manager ever heard about the Bayer - Monsanto rigged buying to past approval of the carcinogenic #RoundUp.

                                    Yeah! Your fleas became giants again. 😒

                                        To start saving pollinators we first need to drop the idea that only bees are pollinators. Then we need to educate about native pollinator conservation. And then we need to ban pollinator extinction biocides.

                                        Just a moment...
