A world without bees is unthinkable - it would be deprived of many plant and animal species and its balance would be disturbed. The committed beekeeper Wolfgang Voigt warns against this scenario and refers to the American environmental activist Rachel Carson and her work "Silent Spring". Unfortunately, so-called pesticides and genetically modified seeds are still being used, which poses a lasting threat to flora and fauna. Quick action is now required: politicians should intervene with legislation, and agriculture and forestry must change. Beekeepers don't stand a chance on their own, but every individual can take action to "promote bees": in their garden, on their balcony or as a mindful consumer. Many people are aware of this, but there is a lack of concrete measures. Wolfgang Voigt names possible actions for everyone.
