The City of Belleville continues efforts to boost the population and profile of bees and other pollinators.
Monday city council voted to become a member of an organization called Bee City Canada.
Councillor Chris Malette is a member of the city’s Green Task Force.
“Bees are responsible for pollinating 35% of all agricultural production and almost 90 different commercially grown food crops. Bees are crucial to our existence.”
Bee City Canada offers educational and advertising materials making communities more aware of the importance of pollinators.
