Buzz-Worthy Action: How Bees and SensiblyGreen® Help Build a Better Tomorrow

Celebrate World Bee Day by Supporting Pollinators and Sustainable Design

Did you know one out of every three bites of food you eat exists because of pollinators like bees? It’s true—and this World Bee Day, we’re reminded just how vital these tiny powerhouses are to global food security, biodiversity, and ecological balance. According to the UN, bees are under severe threat from climate change, pesticides, monoculture farming, and habitat loss—and that’s a pretty big “yikes” for the health of our planet. Without bees and their pollinating pals, we’re not just talking about fewer flowers—it’s full-on disruptions to our food chain and natural ecosystems. That’s why honoring and protecting bees isn’t just a warm fuzzy idea—it’s critical.

Here in Minnesota, Landform is doing our part through our SensiblyGreen® service. We’re integrating pollinator-friendly practices into our planning and design, creating landscapes that help—not harm—the bees and other pollinators. From sustainable stormwater solutions to native plantings, we’re making it easier for communities to thrive in harmony with nature. So today, as you sip your morning coffee (another bee-assisted miracle, by the way), take a moment to appreciate the buzz—and consider how sustainable design can help.
