Hi. I'm Twizz. I've been running the FTBC for just over a year and a half.
It all started when Fern, a friend, and I found ourselves surrounded by
people who didn't care for climate change and how endangered bees are. 156
species of bees are vulnerable to becoming endangered. 20 species already
are and 11 are critically endangered globally. This needs to stop. With
everything going on in the world, ice caps melting, consistent floods and
fires, and much more, climate change needs to be stopped. People always
say that they care for climate change, most people say that. But it isn't
all about caring to stop climate change, it's about trying to stop climate
change. So, welcome to the FTBC's website! Have a look around and always
remember:
IT'S TIME TO SAVE THE WORLD! :D

It is widely
reported that since the 1990’s, some 60% of all bee colonies have died. To
make it worse, we are also losing many of our populations of wild bees
too. Experts believe that some of Europe's bumble bees could be pushed to
the edge of extinction in the next 60 years.
This is
a symbiotic relationship
We need
them, they need us
In Europe alone,
approximately 84% of crop species and plant varieties exist thanks to
pollination by bees. Bees are pollinators for about one third of the
plants we eat. If the bee disappeared off the face of the Earth, man would
face severe difficulties maintaining current levels of food production.
It doesn’t have to be this way
There are
things we can do to help
Twizz and Fern
have started this campaign because they want to do exactly that. Their
plan is to offer their time and labour to spread useful info about things
everyone can do to help, to instigate and support local projects, and to
help raise funds for these and bee relevant charities.
If you like
bees and would like to know
how you can
help them, watch this space!
