Why Honeybees Matter
Honeybees are essential to Maine's agricultural heritage and natural ecosystem. Without them, our local food systems and landscapes would fundamentally change. Understanding their importance is the first step toward protecting them.
Pollinators of Our Food
One out of every three bites of food we eat depends on pollinators. In Maine, honeybees are critical for blueberries, apples, cucumbers, and countless other crops that sustain our agricultural economy.
Ecosystem Health
Honeybees pollinate wild plants that form the foundation of our forests, meadows, and natural spaces. These plants feed wildlife and prevent soil erosion, supporting the entire web of life in Central Maine.
Facing Real Threats
Colony collapse disorder, habitat loss, pesticides, and disease have devastated honeybee populations. But these are challenges we can address through local action, education, and community commitment.
Solutions Start Here
When Central Maine residents create pollinator habitats, support local beekeepers, and learn about honeybee conservation, we create a ripple effect that strengthens our entire region's resilience.
