Happy World Honey Bee Day, Friends! Pollinators like Honey Bees are ever so much more than cute! They’re foundational to every ecosystem in which they are found, sustaining global food systems and agricultural livelihoods. Here in Colorado, we’ve taken bold steps to ensure these small but mighty animals are protected by: 🌼 Phasing out harmful neonicotinoid pesticides on State lands; 🌾 Supporting pollinator-friendly habitats in urban and rural communities; and, 🏛️ Advancing legislation that prioritizes biodiversity and sustainable agriculture. These tiny workers keep our State blooming—and they need our help now more than ever. What’s your favorite pollinator-friendly plant to grow? #WorldHoneyBeeDay #PollinatorProtection
