Pollinator Initiatives at NASA
Pollinators play a crucial role in both human agriculture and ecosystems by supporting thousands of plant species and crops which feed humans and livestock. Unfortunately, habitat loss, disease, and pesticides contribute to the decline in pollinator biodiversity worldwide, which has led to a substantial reduction in native bee species, impacts to honeybees, and the decline 8230;. https://www.nasa.gov/organ...#nasa #space #news #nasa_astrophysics #nasa_burstcube #nasa_cubesats #nasa_gamma_rays #nasa_gamma -ray_bursts #nasa_the_universe #nasa_earth_science #nasa_science_activation #nasa_johnson_space_center #nasa_general #nasa_iss_research #nasa_humans_in_space #nasa_commercial_crew #nasa_commercial_space #nasa_community_partners #nasa_missions #nasa_blogs #nasa_heliophysics #nasa_science_ &_research #nasa_solar_flares #nasa_solar_orbiter #nasa_solar_wind #nasa_space_weather #nasa_the_sun
