The Importance of Bees and Climate Change

“If the bee disappeared from the surface of the globe, man would only have four years of life left: without bees, there is no pollination, no grass, no animals, no men.” Albert Einstein

The bee, that buzzing insect, is of such importance that its fertilizing work is vital for agriculture. Beekeepers and farmers know that the fruits of their crops largely depend on bees, which not only produce honey and pollen but are also key in pollination. The fourth Cuban congress and the third Latin American meeting on beekeeping, held in Cuba, focus on defending this practice and protecting bees in the face of climate change.
