ORCHARDS IN THE COMMUNITY Bees are essential to our food system. They pollinate over 100 crops that we rely on for food. Unfortunately, bee populations are declining at an alarming rate. One of the main reasons for this decline is a lack of food. Bees need flowers to pollinate, and they need food to survive.
That's where DCs for Bees, Orchards in the Community comes in.
This is an initiative we have been part of since the beginning. For 2023 we are aiming to support the planting of 20,000 fruit trees across Ireland to provide a food source for bees as they emerge from winter this year.
