Imagine being the very last of your people. Your family all gone. Your territory stolen. No-one to talk to.

Stingless bees keep backup queens, have "soldiers" that guard the nest, and when faced with danger, they use stink bombs for defence. They're essential for crops and plants! Now Peru could be the first country to grant these precious pollinators rights. Indigenous leaders are asking for support:
BEES. Let's protect these 🐝
They have "soldiers" and are not afraid to use stink bombs. Now Peru could grant them rights. Join Indigenous leaders' protection plan for stingless bees.
