Let it Bee There are lots of different species of Honey Bees worldwide but we have only one indigenous species which has adapted to our wet climate. Bees play a clear role in pollinating our farm crops and it's estimated that one out of every three mouthfuls of the food we eat depends on Honey Bees. Between 1985 and 2005 the number of honey bee colonies across Ireland and the UK has plummeted by half.
