Celebrating Pollination for Food Security, Biodiversity and Livelihoods

The Importance of Pollinators
Why Bees Matter
Bees are the unsung heroes of East African agriculture. As nature's master pollinators, they play a vital role in increasing crop yields, sustaining ecosystems, and supporting rural livelihoods.
- Food Security.
- 35% of global crop production depends on pollinators, ensuring food availability for millions across East Africa.
- Biodiversity.
- Bees pollinate 80% of wild plants in our region, maintaining ecological balance and climate resilience.
- Livelihoods.
- Over 500,000 East African farmers depend on beekeeping for income generation and rural economic development.
BEEASY2025 shines a spotlight on the critical importance of bees to farming, the environment, and economic opportunity in the region and beyond.
