Bees and their impacts on our ecosystem
Save bees - something we have been hearing for quite some years now. Over the years, rapid urbanisation and introduction of varied pollutants has led to climate change which resulted in the decline of bees. The alarming decrease in the bee population has driven many researchers to understand the functions of bees and how their presence is intricate to the ecosystem. This resulted in the spread of common knowledge and awareness that we have to save bees. But have we ever wondered how they are important to the ecosystem and why is it so crucial to ensure that we take necessary action for their conservation? Let's take a look!
