As stated above, “Buzz” refers to the Honey Bee, and this day is intended to draw your attention towards the bee population, which is continuously declining due to excessive use of pesticides, the decline in natural habitat, and constantly shifting weather patterns.
According to the FAO, there were around 101.6 million bee colonies worldwide in 2021.
On the other hand, just like bees, birds, especially sparrows, act as pollinators too. More importantly, they help control the insect population by feeding on a variety of them, mainly those that damage crops.
However, due to urbanization, climate change, light pollution, increasing use of pesticides in soil, and illegal hunting and poaching, there is a sharp decline in the population of birds.
As the dominant species, we humans have the power to bring some meaningful changes to mother earth and come together to prevent bees and sparrows from going extinct, which is necessary to sustain the crucial balance of our ecosystem.
