Save Our Pollinators: Native insect pollinators across different ecosystems are demonstrating an alarming decline with many species being threatened with extinction due to over application of toxic pesticides in agriculture, pollution, climate change and global warming, parasitic diseases, colony collapse, lack of nectar foraging plants and suitable habitats. Conservation of native insect pollinators is extremely important from the perspective of agriculture as they are responsible for pollinating several important food and industrial crops. The bee on my palm symbolically represents the dire need for conservation efforts to save native bees that are dying out every year in large numbers and need our help and attention for their survival.
