Most plants rely on the collaboration of pollinators to flower, fruit, and reproduce. Yet industrial agriculture’s intensive use of pesticides is collapsing this critical cycle, hitting native bees the hardest. In areas with heavy pesticide use, bee populations have dropped by as much as 43%.

Communities around the world are strengthening their bonds with land by working with bees and reviving native habitats. They’re also building regenerative livelihoods, producing and selling local honey so they can keep tending the ecosystems they depend upon.
