Nearly 90% of the world’s wild flowering plant species depend on animal pollination, along with more than 75% of the world’s food crops and 35% of global agricultural land. Not only do pollinators contribute directly to food security, but they are key to conserving biodiversity. Despite all this, bees are increasingly under threat from human activities. We have to act now as individuals, farmers, intergovernmental organizations, academia, governments and decision-makers, to sustain and protect the important work of the bees. the Editor [http://newsletters.fao.org/i/amf_fao/project_237/4-Highlight.jpg?size=190x0&w=BJj6K4CvT2VjiUWI8U43_FHkaqkg] FAO's Global Action on Pollination Services for Sustainable Agriculture See here<http://newsletters.fao.org/c/1vUOXRTuFY3mWbc22CeTXHX> [http://newsletters.fao.org/i/amf_fao/project_237/51-How-to.jpg?size=190x0&w=BtMg85dZqJ6HG-Arh_Zs8T-kCu3U] Beekeeping on TECA - Technologies and Practices for Small Agricultural Producers More here<http://newsletters.fao.org/c/1vUOXXNwn3lqs32Tdqw3eJY> [http://newsletters.fao.org/i/amf_fao/project_237/32b_Publication.jpg?size=190x0&w=BlPrRoVmOKDRgg9zg5eAyJ7V4nOM] Good beekeeping practices: Practical manual on how to identify and control the main diseases of the honeybee (Apis mellifera) Read here<http://newsletters.fao.org/c/1vUOY3Hy48DtXUTKoeNcvLZ> [http://newsletters.fao.org/i/amf_fao/project_237/53-c-partners-cornerR.jpg?size=190x0&w=BVBuCG38PlhiqzQCaQ5l4KuURWHE] - Apimondia<http://newsletters.fao.org/c/1vUOY9BzLdVxtMKBz34lMO0> Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale del Lazio e della Toscana BPRACTICES<http://newsletters.fao.org/c/1vUOYlpD9ovEvwsjUFCEkS2> - [http://newsletters.fao.org/i/amf_fao/project_237/Sharing.jpg?size=600x0&w=BWyiCRQeF7S8CcCDgwtUO9XzFNgk]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> See online version<http://newsletters.fao.org/q/1bk0rZgvCpCVGAs9r3S/wv> FAO Livestock Technical Network coordination team: Daniela Battaglia, Tonia Galasso Contact us at: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> SHARE AND SUBSCRIBE If you received this from a colleague and wish to subscribe, please click here to enter your details<http://newsletters.fao.org/c/1vUOYrjEQtNI1ojb5tTNBU3>.
