Another post showed the bee on a swing tied to two sunflowers with a caption that talked about how it would be a good thing for the species if they found more flowers and asked people to plant organic and flower seeds free from any kind of pesticide.
In a post, the bee could be seen holding a banner that talked about helping them by turning B's followers into money in order to save the bees from extinction. The caption stated that bees are responsible for helping make chocolate, clothes, coffee, ice cream, and broccoli and added that the species is declining by 24% every year that will in turn hold consequences not favourable for human beings.

The account on Instagram that is using unique ways to catch the attention of people and increase its follower's count is the brainchild of Fondation de France, a bee funding organisation, with an aim to save the species from extinction.
