The National Bee Count is an annual project of Naturalis, Nature & Environment, IVN Nature Education and LandscapesNL. The goal is to find out as much as possible about pollinators so that the bees can be better helped. It is known that the bees are getting worse every year. Last winter, no fewer than 30 to 40 percent of the bee colonies kept by beekeepers died. And they don’t know why.
