Pollinate Sweden
We founded Pollinate Sweden in 2017 to spread knowledge and awareness about the situation for all pollinators – solitary bees, bumblebees, beetles, butterflies, honeybees and flies. At that time there were many questions about bees dying and ”insect armageddon” and from that situation we saw the importance to reach out to the public with correct information and well researched material.
Pollination Week
We launched the National Pollination Week 2018 and which has fueled increasing attention for pollination and pollinators and great engagement both from the public, our network and media. During this week communities, organizations, schools and the public arrange activities all over the country.
Pollinator of the Year
We arrange the award Pollinator of the Year is to reward a person, company, institution or organisation that has been working successfully for the cause.
Our mission
We want the question of pollination to become as important as climate change, plastic pollution or food waste, just to mention some other areas where people have gathered together to create attention on an urgent matter.
Our mission is to make the full value of pollination well known to the public and that organizations, researchers, farmers, food producers and companies who engage in the issue will become estimated for their achievements.
Founders
Pollinate Sweden and the Pollination Week was founded by Anna Lind Lind Lewin and Lotta Fabricius Kristiansen in 2017.
Pollinate Sweden is partly funded by the National Apiculture Program in Sweden.
