Bees are vital to the natural world and an essential part of our ecology.
Did you know that every third bite of food we take is made possible thanks to bees?
That is 90% of agricultural crops in the United States, which is about $19 billion to the US economy!
For the past decade, there has been a steady decrease of bee populations by 30% each year which is concerning.
So . . .
The Club is working at resolving this crisis on a small scale, hoping to educate young students at Newman and local public and charter schools while working with the city of New Orleans (NOLA) to turn vacant lots left desolate after Hurricane Katrina into pollinator gardens 🌺 🌳🌻
“These athletes taking the time to keep bees and contribute to our local community really are the bees knees.”
