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 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#bees #biodiversity #EcosystemCollapse #HabitatLoss #honeybees

@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 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.

@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 there is also a very important factor affecting the bee colonies. That is the cloud seeding and other geoengineering tactics used today to "cool down the planet". I belive this is the main factor we should address.

@EUCommissionAnother 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. 😒

@EUCommission Nice try. Whoever is working this account - do you really feel you have to work for some people, who say one thing and do the opposite? Yes - bees are important. So is the ban on pesticides! Please go to Uschi, tell her hello from Wolf and ask for suspension from having to publish bullshit! Sorry for the anger - but this is hypocrisy, and I hate it, if people are doing this, people whose income I pay!

Hey thanks for the comment, @Spirit! 💜 As for your question: EU regulation passes through our main regulating bodies, the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council. That said, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) assesses the safety of pesticide active substances and residues and provides scientific advice that underpins this regulatory process. Learn more here: https://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/topics/topic/pesticides

Hi @mray thanks for the feedback! We try our best to adapt our content to the platform, and sometimes we like to catch attention with humour. If you feel this isn't quite the vibe for the Fediverse, we appreciate the input. Keep the comments coming! Is there anything else you'd like to see more or less of on our account?

@EUCommission 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 ditch the tunnel vision on honeybees. And then we need to ban pollinator extinction biocides.https://xerces.org/

Hello there, @NMBA! Everyone loves a honeybee, but our pollinators strategy does include awareness for other species, like butterfly and hoverfly species. You can read more here: https://environment.ec.europa.eu/topics/nature-and-biodiversity/pollinators_en

@EUCommission Pour avoir un eco-système plus sain il faudrait songer aussi à éliminer les génocidaires et leurs complices car ils ont les mêmes effets indésirables !🔸 habitat loss 🔸 climate change 🔸 excessive use of pesticides (glyphosate an bombs) ...Les humains de toutes couleurs sont aussi de précieuses créatures !

@EUCommission awesome work, and thanks for engaging with the fediverse on this, I know it can be a little thankless sometimes when you get so many negative comments, but it's really appreciated.I think it's in everyone's best interest to lower or ideally completely remove pesticide usage, as these are creating problems for more than just insects, with Parkinson's disease being a good example https://www.rivm.nl/en/bestrijdingsmiddelen/spark

@EUCommission important note about bees: most of the pollination is done by wild, not honey-producing bees. So anyone who tries to "save the bees" by setting up beekeeper equipment outside might do even more damage when their honey bees drive the wild bee population away.
