Bee Together is an organization that aims to raise awareness about declining bee populations and the importance of pollinators through various educational events and initiatives. Their activities include volunteering to plant seeds and trees, guided tours about bee colonies and wild bee species, and campaigns against pesticide use. The organization also funds local projects such as translating informational flyers, making schoolyards more pollinator-friendly, and planting orchards of heirloom fruit trees. Their goal is to help people make informed decisions to support biodiversity and collective well-being.

Who are we? We often hear that the survival of the entire human race depends on bees. And it is true that those tiny creatures provide us with most of our food. But because of the extensive use of pesticides and the spread of monoculture that disrupts biodiversity, the bee population keeps decreasing1 . Thats why Bee Together believes that we must take action. We are concerned about not only honey bees, but also other pollinators, such as bumblebees, solitary bees, butterflies, and moths. By providing a balanced perspective on the subject, wehope to enable people to make more informed decisions on theircontribution towards our collective well-being. We organise events and activities to raise awareness of the importance of biodiversity, bees and pollinators. We also collect funds to support local efforts that may have a direct impact on theenvironment. Raising awareness Working with organisations with similar objectives, we raise awareness with the general public through various activities andevents, such as: Volunteering time to clear land, sow seeds and plant fruittrees; Visits to discover how a bee colony works and how important biodiversity is to them; Guided tours to observe and try to determine the species ofwild solitary bees; Stands at events; Pesticide-free campaign (Ouni Pestiziden); and Writing articles in the press/media.
