22% of native pollinators in North America are at an elevated risk of extinction.

Pollinators contribute over $15 billion annually to North American agriculture.

Climate change, agriculture, habitat loss and urban development are the leading threats.

Florida is the most diverse state east of the Mississippi .

The importance of the western honey bee to agricultural production cannot be overstated, says Tara Cornelisse .

We no longer have the luxury of saying only conservation spaces matter, she says.
