Google celebrates 50th Earth day with interactive Bee Doodle game

Google's today’s interactive Earth Day Doodle is made in collaboration with The Honeybee Conservancy. It is based in New York and it spreads awareness to save bees. With this interactive Doodle, you can guide your bee to pollinate flowers while learning fun facts about bees and our planet that they help to sustain.

This #EarthDay, as we stay at home, let’s take a moment to appreciate the smaller things in life that make a big difference - such as the hardworking bees, and the sweet things they do for us.

Now, let’s 🐝 there for them.

The Doodle for today takes the theme of appreciating one of the smallest creatures in the world. The interactive video relays information about how bees pollinate and their significance in our lives. It was made by Doodler Gerben Steenks, with engineering by Doodlers Jacob Howcroft & Stephanie Gu. He said:

We hope people understand the importance of bees to the earth and humanity. For those who want to take action, anyone can have a positive impact by growing pollen-producing plants!

A player can infinitely play the game that helps the bee to move around and gather nectar. It further moves onto pollinating and growing flowers. They Doodle game makes us realise how bees play a very important role in making the ecosystem. Along with the game, the doodle gives us some fun facts. Pollination by bees makes two-thirds of the crops that we eat today. Also, 85% of the plants get flowers due to bees.

Further, the Google Doodle website takes us onto a conversation with the founder of The Honeybee Conservancy, Guillermo Fernandez. He says:

Bees pollinate 1 in 3 bites of food we eat and are vital to a healthy ecology. There are 20,000 species of bees around the world who do this essential work. In North America, currently, 1 in 4 of the 4,000 native bee species are at risk of extinction. On a larger scale, the world’s survival depends on theirs.

This doodle is certainly a friendly and fun way to raise awareness.
