What was once a sky full of butterflies and bees has faded into near silence. Over the years, Minnesota's prairies, once thriving ecosystems, have been transformed into vast fields of grass, corn, and soybeans, leaving little room for pollinators to thrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1997, commercial honeybee colony numbers in Minnesota have dropped by half, and honey production has plummeted by 75%. The southwest third of the state has become a virtual pollinator death zone due to habitat loss and excessive herbicide use. Now Minnesota prairie is mostly grass, field corn and soybeans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut this is a problem we can solve. \u003cstrong\u003eLand For Bees\u003c\/strong\u003e was founded to restore vital pollinator habitats, starting with 233 acres of conservation-focused land.
