Consider the pollinators of the Okanagan region.

Pollinators, particularly honeybees, are increasingly impacted by climate change. Heather Clay, a member of Climate Action Now! North Okanagan, emphasizes that the rapid climate shifts are primarily due to human actions, and inaction is leading to rising costs, including food prices. Recent data from the BC River Forecast Centre indicates that the Okanagan Snow Basin Index was at a record low of 58 percent of normal in April, dropping to just two percent by June, prompting water restrictions and raising concerns among farmers about the agricultural system's viability.
