LG launches an environmental challenge to repopulate Spain with Iberian bees

The consumer electronics company LG launched in 2017 the challenge of planting 47 million trees in Spain, one for each inhabitant. So far, they have managed to plant five million and now face a new challenge: repopulating the Peninsula with 47 million Iberian bees (Apis mellifera iberiensis). According to LG, this goal aims to recover the declining species and promote the expansion of ecosystems in the country. However, the initiative has generated criticism among pollinator experts, who warn about the consequences of releasing millions of bees into the wild.
