To flowers, bees are consumers;
To human being, bees are producers;
Most importantly, to our ecological system, bees are active environmentalists.

Have you ever wonder how will our world be without bees? Sir Albert Einstein once made a scientific observation and stated that, “without bees, we human beings could not live more than 4 years!”

The logic is simple; bees are probably the world’s greatest pollinator. As bees travel from blossom to blossom in search of nectar, they transfer pollen from plant to plant, thus fertilizing the plants and enabling them to bear fruit. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that about one-third of human diet is derived from insect-pollinated plants and that the bee is responsible for at least 60% of this pollination.

In view of the importance and contribution of bees in our eco system, the Organizer has thus chosen bees as the mascot of SME Recognition Award, acknowledging its team spirit, effectiveness, loyalty as well as the social contribution towards a win-win environment.
