You get free gifts, we make world greener

Hello GreenZoners,

do you know how do honeybees find food?  Honeybees are very selective on what they home in on – they want the best pollen and nectar yield – they do not go randomly from flower to flower. They are choosing the best place to live and eat using their sense of smell.

And now they are in real trouble…

According to new research: reactive pollutants in diesel destroyed key chemicals in the odour of oilseed rape flowers, making them “smell” different to the bees.

Long story short: flowers smell different than they should and bees can’t recognize them. Everything because traffic fumes.

It is very bad news: it could have serious detrimental effects on the number of honeybee colonies and pollination activity.

Probably we all aready knew that fumes are harmful, here we have sad example how very harmful.

Maybe bikes this weekend, GreenZoners?
