The world’s first bee influencer has captured the hearts of people from around the world for promoting the conservation of her species and the preservation of our planet.
While social media influencers are nothing new in the modern world, B the Bee is a special online figure who aims to raise funds to save her species from potential extinction.
B, who already has over 120,000 followers on Instagram alone, is actually a CGI honeybee who came to life thanks to the Foundation de France, an organization seeking to protect the bees.
The foundation has created a charity called Bee Fund through which they seek funds to counter the ever-lasting problem of diminishing bee populations.
“In France, more than 30% of bee colonies disappear each year. Protecting the bee is also protecting the human,” Bee Fund website reads.
According to the charity, B the Bee aims to raise awareness and generate ad revenue through her appearance and posts on social media sites such as Instagram.
From morning yoga poses to selfies with beautiful sceneries, B sure knows how to gain attention and get people to follow her cause.
“I’m the 1st bee influencer! ?✨ Follow me guys: the more followers I have, the more we will save bees! #BeeFund x @fondationdefrance,” B’s Instagram profile reads.
As for the Foundation’s course of action, they aim to approach the issue from three different directions.
For one, they work to financially assist farmers in order to help them convert to pollinator-friendly bee-farming methods.
They also aim to rebuild natural bee habitats that were destroyed and raise awareness of the negative impacts that pesticides have on the hardworking pollinators.
