Did you know that the official state insect of New Jersey is the Honeybee?
Honeybees are essential pollinators that play a critical role in our food system and natural ecosystems. As they travel from flower to flower collecting nectar and pollen, they help plants reproduce — supporting the growth of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. A single colony can pollinate millions of flowers in a day. Beyond producing honey and beeswax, honeybees contribute billions of dollars to agriculture each year through pollination services.
Want to say thanks in a way that helps? Plant pollinator-friendly flowers, avoid spraying pesticides on blooming plants, and support local beekeepers when you can. Every small action makes a difference.
