Stephen Cadogan: Farmers must get on board the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan

With one third of our 98 bee species threatened with extinction, the “bee-loud glade” described by William Butler Yeats is no more, and it’s time to act.

Making Ireland a place where pollinators can survive and thrive is the commendable aim of 68 organisations which have agreed a plan of action.

Without pollinators, the Irish landscape would be a very different and much less beautiful place.
