Angelina Jolie posted about bees awareness on her Instagram. In her post, wrote, "Bee populations are under threat across the globe due to non-sustainable agriculture practices, climate change, habitat destruction and biodiversity erosion".
"Pollinator dependent crops contribute to 35% of global crop production volume. If the precious pollinators, especially bees, disappeared from nature, 75% of all cultivated plants and 90% of wild flowering plants that depend on pollinators would be threatened".
"On World Bee Day, I am happy to help raise awareness on the importance of this precious pollinator. By protecting the bee, we're helping to protect traditional local knowledge, preserve biodiversity, and ensuring the future of communities around the world".
In 2021, Jolie was photographed covered with bees. Photographer Dan Winters tells that everyone was wearing protective suit except Angelina.
Then he explained that moment, “It had to be quiet and fairly dark to keep the bees calm.”
“Angelina stood perfectly still, covered in bees for 18 minutes without a sting.”
