Several studies have argued
that a high abundance of
managed bee pollinators, such
as honeybees (Apis mellifera),
may be sufficient to provide
pollination services for crop
productivity, and sociological
studies indicate that the
majority of farmers worldwide
do not recognize the
contribution of wild pollinator
diversity to agricultural yield
(Plant Diversity,2022).
THE IMPORTANCE
Ecosystem services, defined as the benefits
to human welfare provided by organisms
interacting in ecosystems, are considered to
be at risk (Daily 1997; Palmer et al. 2004).
200 COUNTRIES
fruit, vegetable or seed production from 87 of the
leading global food crops is dependent upon animal
pollination, while 28 crops do not rely upon animal
pollination.
