Ελληνικό σχέδιο διάσωσης για τις μέλισσες και τις πεταλούδες Ο ρόλος τους στην αναπαραγωγή των περισσότερων άγριων και καλλιεργούμενων φυτών – Απειλούνται από τα φυτοφάρμακα και την ανεξέλεγκτη μελισσοκομία.

Πίσω από κάθε λουλούδι που ανθίζει, κάθε καρπό που φτάνει στο τραπέζι μας, κρύβεται η αθέατη δουλειά χιλιάδων εντόμων που μεταφέρουν γύρη από άνθος σε άνθος – οι λεγόμενοι επικονιαστές. Το πρώτο εθνικό σχέδιο για την προστασία τους είναι υπό αξιολόγηση.
