Help our Pollinators<\/strong>
\nOne third of our bee species is threatened with extinction from Ireland. This is because we have drastically reduced\u00a0the amount of food (flowers) and safe nesting sites in our landscapes. The\u00a0All-Ireland Pollinator Plan\u00a0is about all of us, from farmers to local authorities, to schools, gardeners and businesses, coming together to try to create an Ireland where pollinators can survive and thrive. To find out what your garden, local community, school, business or farmland can do to help our pollinators go to https:\/\/pollinators.ie\/<\/a><\/p>\n
