If we eat better meat and less of it, bees will be happier

What do bees have to do with my steak? Another hidden cost of the intensive production of meat is the loss of biodiversity and natural habitats. 

The enormous fields of mono-culture crops that are required to feed animals that are kept indoors all their lives rely on the extensive use of pestisides. These pesticides are having a dramatic impact on bee populations around the world. In more traditional smaller-scale farming, farmers rotate their crops making use of nature’s natural pest control. 

By eating higher quality meat, in smaller amounts, you can support the future of bees.
