Are you also interested in the dying and extinction of wild bees and flight insects and insects in general? Do you fear the insect death? If we are not immediately active, the wild bees will be extinct in ten years and the honey bees in twenty years and then 30% of our food is no longer available.

Are you worried about it, would like to know the reasons and help somehow to do something about it? Then you are right with my book.

I would like to stimulate political action, but also to bring about biotopes and nesting aids.

Did you know that the bumble bee is a wild bee? Or that almost all wild bees are loners with high demands on their habitat? For this reason, more than half of all around 560 wild bee species are on the Red List.

Almost 40 species are already extinct and another 100 species are threatened with extinction or classified as highly endangered. The main cause of the decline is the loss of habitat. There is a lack of nesting possibilities and food. The ecological and economic importance of bees as a whole is illustrated by the following figures: In a recent study, the value of insect pollination alone for agriculture is estimated at 153 billion euros annually. In Europe, the annual value of pollination is more than € 14 billion. The value of the pollination of many wild plants can not be quantified.

According to the latest reports from the scientists, the wild bees will be extinct in ten years if we do not take appropriate countermeasures quickly.

But what will become of insectivorous birds? Will they be starving soon? And the amphibians?
