| Abstract | It is well recognized that bees are of immense importance to natural and agro-ecosystems for the pollination services they perform. Like most of the world’s biodiversity, bees are also increasingly under threat from a variety of causes, such as changes in land use, pesticides, habitat destruction, and invasive species (especially diseases), to name but a few. Credit must go to Buchmann & Nabham’s 1996 book The Forgotten Pollinators for raising awareness among politicians and the public of this major world problem and of the consequences of continued pollinator loss. |
