Bees pollinate a third of the plant species we eat\u200b<\/h2>\n

Bees play a crucial role in pollination and therefore in the reproduction of various plant species such as fruits, vegetables and oilseeds.\u200b<\/p>\n

Without the presence of bees as a vector of pollination, the production of the amount of food needed to sustain today’s society could be at risk.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#F5F5F2″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_direction=”90deg” background_color_gradient_stops=”rgba(10,1,1,0) 0%|rgba(10,2,2,0.5) 100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”on” background_image=”https:\/\/ponto360.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/pesticidas.jpg” background_last_edited=”on|tablet” use_background_color_gradient_tablet=”on” background_color_gradient_stops_tablet=”rgba(10,1,1,0.5) 0%|rgba(10,2,2,0.5) 100%” border_radii=”on|30px|30px|30px|30px” border_width_all=”20px” border_color_all=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”60vh” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_layout=”dark” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n
