B [@bee_nfluencer] (2020, October 6). As some of you already know, today France partially reintroduced pesticides that had been banned since 2018. I cry for my species 😔😢Bees are still in danger but I know together we can change things! 🌿One year ago, I created my account on Instagram to raise awareness about pollinators. Thanks to your engagement, we are almost 300K, and I have already partnered with 10 brands for the #BeeFund. 💛💛💛 So far, we supported 3 amazing projects to save bees. But the fight isn’t over yet and I need you to share my account, comment, like, and make me as visible as possible and be able to change things all together 💪🐝💛 #savethebees #notopesticides #neonicotinoids #beenfluencer #earth #beesofinstagram [Photograph].
