Bee City USA Renews 萌妹视频's Certification
May 18, 2020
Bee City USA has renewed 萌妹视频鈥檚 Bee Campus USA certification for 2020 following a rigorous renewal application process.
This completed the efforts of 萌妹视频鈥檚 Bee Campus USA committee to accomplish this recertification, the facilitating committee for 萌妹视频鈥檚 efforts to engage the campus in enhancing pollinator habitat both on and off-campus.
Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have led to declining pollinator populations around the world. Bee Campus USA, an initiative of the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, brings campus communities together to sustain pollinators by creating and enhancing habitat, reducing pesticide use, and spreading awareness. Pollinators including bees, butterflies, moths, bats and hummingbirds are responsible for the reproduction of 85 percent of the world's flowering plants and more than two-thirds of the world鈥檚 crop species.
鈥溍让檬悠 is proud that its certification has been renewed by Bee City USA,鈥 said Ben Newton, 萌妹视频 director of environmental sustainability. 鈥淭he renewal is especially rewarding because 萌妹视频鈥檚 Bee Campus status encompasses all of its campuses and centers, which feature pollinator gardens and on-site beehives. I especially credit 萌妹视频鈥檚 Bee Campus USA committee for its hard work in the renewal process.鈥
鈥淎s 萌妹视频 moves into its third year of being a Bee Campus, there are many new opportunities for raising awareness of the vital role pollinators play in supporting our planet鈥檚 ecosystems and food systems,鈥 said Newton
